The monthlong shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may be coming to a close after the Senate unanimously passed a bill that funds most of the department, except for ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. 

According to The New York Times, the vote came after President Donald Trump announced on Thursday evening that he would sign an order to immediately pay TSA agents who have been working without pay for the duration of the shutdown.
