Feb. 3 (UPI) -- The House of Representatives will meet Tuesday to vote on funding measures to end the partial government shutdown.
The sticking point is funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Democrats want reforms to hold Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol accountable.
The government has been partially shut down since Saturday, as lawmakers grapple with funding after two shooting deaths of protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
The main funding package would cover the Departments of Defense, Labor, Treasury, Health and Human Services, Education, State and more through Sept. 30, when the fiscal year ends. A separate funding bill would fund DHS through Feb. 13, giving Congress time to debate measures to create new oversight policies.
