The issue
Congress has passed two appropriations bills that will fund the
federal government – including immigration operations –
through FY 2020, which ends September 30, 2020. President Trump is
expected to sign the spending package into law.
A pair of appropriations bills passed today by Congress will fund
the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, Labor
and other federal agencies through the end of the fiscal year,
averting a government shutdown. A temporary spending measure passed
in November was set to expire on December 20.
