Trump Signs Funding Bill to End Partial Government Shutdown

U.S. President Donald Trump signed a government funding bill in the Oval Office on February 4, ending the partial government shutdown. According to BlockBeats, earlier that day, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass the funding bill for several federal departments for the remainder of the fiscal year. This resolved the impasse that began on January 31. The bill provides funding for various federal departments until September 30, the end of the fiscal year, and allocates two weeks of funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which has been at the center of recent controversy and protests over immigration enforcement actions. This temporary funding allows for continued negotiations on improving the department's operations.
