Trump Signs Appropriations Bill to End Partial Government Shutdown

BlockBeats News, February 4th—On February 4th, U.S. President Trump signed a government funding bill in the Oval Office of the White House, ending the government's partial shutdown. Earlier that day, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass a bill that would fund several federal government departments for the remainder of the current fiscal year, effectively resolving the deadlock that led to the partial government shutdown starting on January 31st. This bill will provide funding for several federal government departments until September 30th, the end of the current fiscal year, and will provide two weeks of funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which has recently faced controversy and protests due to immigration enforcement actions, to allow for further negotiations on improving the department's operations.
