Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
The Senate has voted to fund most of the Homeland Security Department.
It's been partially shut down for more than a month.
Democrats are still demanding changes in how ICE agents operate.
The ongoing shutdown means some federal workers are not getting paid,
like TSA agents, and hundreds of them have called out or quit.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune lined up the vote on the funding bill early this morning.
But NPR's Sam Greenglass reports.
President Trump started to take action last night.
President Trump said he was declaring a national emergency and ordering TSA agents to be paid anyway.
You know, it wasn't initially clear where that money would come from and now whether he'll sign that still.
Not long after, Thune agreed to this vote that would fund DHS with no funding at all for ICE.
NPR's Sam Greenglass reporting.
The DHS funding measure now goes to the House.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has arrived in France to join a meeting of G7 foreign ministers
from the wealthiest democracies across Europe and Japan.
NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports.
Rubio will try to enlist support for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump's request of NATO G7 allies to help reopen the maritime route largely fell on deaf ears.
Meanwhile, Trump has turned his back on Russia's aggressive war on Ukraine, which continues unabated.
