A $1.2 trillion, five-bill minibus reopened the government after a nearly four-day partial shutdown and included a continuing resolution to fund DHS until February 13. The House passed the package 217-214 and the president signed it into law on February 3. Rep. Lauren Boebert voted against the minibus and claimed the package contained $1.3 billion in earmarks for facilities providing late-term abortions and child transgender surgeries.
