The Senate early Friday approved a partial funding package for the Department of Homeland Security, a key step toward ending most of the 42-day shutdown that has disrupted federal operations.

The measure, passed by voice vote, provides funding for major DHS components but excludes Immigration and Customs Enforcement and parts of Customs and Border Protection, which remain at the center of ongoing political disputes.

Agencies that would resume full operations under the package include the Transportation Security Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the United States Coast Guard, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Lawmakers described the measure as a critical step to restore essential services while negotiations continue over immigration enforcement funding, which has been the primary sticking point in efforts to fully reopen the department.
