Jan. 22 (UPI) -- The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on four funding bills Thursday to avert another government shutdown ahead of the Jan. 30 deadline.
It voted 214-213 on the rule, which allows debate and two separate votes on their passage later Thursday. One will include funding of the Departments of Defense, Education, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Labor and other agencies. A Department of Homeland Security funding bill will have a separate vote.
The Homeland Security bill would give billions to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, fund the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Transportation Security Administration, the Secret Service and more.
The Homeland Security appropriations bill has seen opposition from Democrats since the deadly shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Democrats are demanding ICE reforms.
