Moderate House Democrats teamed with Republicans to pass a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, overcoming a revolt over ICE.

Appropriators this week put forward a fourth spending package, meaning they have reached a bipartisan, bicameral agreement on all 12 of the annual, must-pass funding bills. Half of those have already cleared Congress, while the third easily won approval in the House and is awaiting a vote in the Senate.

Lawmakers on Tuesday presented the final four approproations bills needed to fund several government agencies through September.

The House voted to repeal a Senate GOP measure allowing lawmakers to sue the government for $500K, attaching it to a funding bill that could keep the government open.

A group of Labour MPs from Merseyside has told the government the North-West is being penalised by a lack of funding to smaller towns. They have written to the government to argue that its so-called Fair Funding settlement for councils is far from fair for the region.

Congressional Republicans have agreed to cut funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and impose new restrictions on the agency in order to secure a bipartisan deal to fund the government and avoid a shutdown — a concession that comes even as President Donald Trump escalates ICE enforcement nationwide.

Fox News chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on Democrats’ pushing to block funding for I.C.E. as the government funding deadline approaches at the end of January on ‘Special Report.

Democrats said the vote wasn’t a hard choice, even if it meant also rejecting funding for agencies like FEMA and TSA.
