“Daniel Kurtzleben and PR news the White House.”
President Trump is signed to bill ending the record-long shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security. The measure excludes money for ice and parts of Border Patrol, as in PR's Sam Greenglass reports it caps two and a half months of bitter debate over deportation and immigration enforcement tactics that resulted in the deaths of two people in Minneapolis.
