A brief partial government shutdown has ended after Congress passed a funding bill. The shutdown happened because Democrats and Republicans were stuck in a fight over money and oversight for the Department of Homeland Security, specifically Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Democrats in Congress have been pushing for major changes to ICE, with some calling the agency 'rogue' and even advocating to abolish it. They demanded reforms as a condition for funding. Republicans defended the agency and urged Trump to reject the Democrats' demands. The new funding bill temporarily ends the shutdown but sets up a new deadline for lawmakers to reach a longer-term deal on ICE.
