House passes bill to end the partial government shutdown

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has passed a roughly $1.2 trillion spending package to end a partial government shutdown.

The bill next goes to President Donald Trump for his signature.

The vote wraps up congressional work on 11 of the 12 annual appropriations bills, funding the vast majority of the government for the budget year ending Sept. 30. The last bill still to be worked out covers the Department of Homeland Security where Democrats are demanding more restrictions on enforcement operations.

Trump has said he will sign the bill once it reaches his desk.
