Chapter 2: What led to the end of the partial government shutdown?

The House approved a spending package of more than a trillion dollars yesterday to fund several of the government's largest departments through the end of September. The vote was 217 to 214. Twenty-one Democrats in the House voted in favor. A stopgap measure funds the Department of Homeland Security through February 13th.
That gives lawmakers a short window to negotiate changes sought by Democrats on federal immigration enforcement. They include a ban on officers wearing face masks and mandatory judicial warrants for making arrests. The partial shutdown ended on day four.
