The U.S. Congress is moving to end a record 75-day partial government shutdown, with the House set to vote Thursday on a bill already passed by the Senate. The legislation would reopen much of the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration enforcement, border security, airport screening, and disaster response, among other functions. The shutdown, the longest in U.S. history at the time, left hundreds of thousands of federal workers either furloughed or working without pay. The Senate passed its version of the bill first, and the House vote Thursday is the final legislative step before the measure can be signed into law. The immediate effect would be restoring normal operations and pay across affected Homeland Security agencies. Key details on the exact funding terms and any policy riders attached to the bill were not specified in available reporting, so what conditions accompany the reopening remains worth tracking as the vote proceeds.
