Senate approves Homeland Security bill, sending it back to House

The Senate approved a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security that ends a partial shutdown and runs through September 30.
The bill does not include additional funding for immigration enforcement, which is already well-funded.
House Republican leaders have reached a deal with Senate Majority Leader John Thune to consider the Senate's measure, but it's uncertain if the rank-and-file will support it.
