  • Story Text: The U.S. Senate voted on Friday (March 27) to end a partial government shutdown that has snarled airports across the country, though it did not resolve a dispute over immigration enforcement that prompted the six-week standoff in the first place.
    The legislation would restore funding for most of the Department of Homeland Security, including airport security screeners, disaster-response workers, and members of the U.S. Coast Guard, who have worked without pay since mid-February. However, it does not include new limits on DHS agents carrying out President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown - a key demand of Democrats.
    The Republican-controlled House of Representatives must also pass the bill before Trump can sign it into law. A vote was expected later on Friday.
