Government funding is currently set to run out after Sept. 30. The legislation, passed Tuesday on a 220 to 205 vote, would extend that through Dec. 4. Speaker Mike Johnson was able to unite House Republicans in the face of opposition from minority Democrats, who argued the bill contained a loophole which could allow the administration to add more funding for immigration raids.
