00:00It's Benzinga bringing Wall Street to Main Street.
00:02The Senate early Friday advanced a bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security,
00:07according to CNBC. The move aims to end a partial government shutdown that disrupted
00:12air travel and caused missed paychecks for TSA agents. The bill funds DHS but excludes
00:17Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Parts of Customs and Border Protection.
00:22It now heads to the House for final approval, with a vote possible Friday before a scheduled
00:26recess. Lawmakers struggled to reach a deal before the recess, and after talks broke down
00:31Thursday, Trump said he would pay TSA agents through an executive order. The shutdown began
00:37in February after federal agents killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis during an immigration
00:42crackdown, prompting Democrats to demand changes and refuse DHS funding.
