March 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate passed legislation early on Friday approving a funding package for most of the Department of Homeland Security, except for ICE and part of Customs and Border Protection, several media outlets reported on Friday.
The agreement would fund other DHS components, such as the Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Coast Guard, but the House of Representatives will still need to act before funded agencies within the department can reopen, CNN reported.
