Senators at last agreed via voice vote early Friday morning to approve a funding package that funds the Department of Homeland Security besides Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and part of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) — a critical step toward ending most of the 42-day long DHS shutdown.
Agencies that would be funded by the Senate’s approved package include TSA, FEMA, The Coast Guard and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

Trending is a segment of Current News that highlights current events and issues of public interest, often through analysis. It is typically a live breaking news story or an extended special report. Breaking news is a type of journalism that requires a temporary interruption of non-news programming, such as a television or radio broadcast. In North America, until the rise of 24-hour news networks, such programming interruptions were rare, reserved for the most urgent events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, or severe weather events that could not wait for the next scheduled newscast. Breaking news is usually accompanied by a distinct graphics package, an audio cue and a distinctively branded music soundtrack.
This week on Trending, we talk to NPR correspondents about the US-Cuba crisis, a Utah woman’s fentanyl death, and more. Also, how unmanned drones that cost in the thousands are evening the playing field with American missiles and reshaping conflicts around the world.
