The measure funds most government agencies until the end of the fiscal year in September. But the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will be funded only until the end of next week.

Oh no. Anyway.

As far as I'm concerned DHS can stay unfunded indefinitely and we'll all be better off.

I think Ice and CBP still have plenty of funding though Trumps "Beautiful" bill though. So even if DHS isn't funded it won't really impact them the way a normal shutdown would.
