PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNS LEGISLATION ENDING SHUTDOWN AND REOPENING GOVERNMENT THROUGH FEBRUARY 15
February 1, 2019
On January 25, 2019, President Trump signed a continuing resolution passed by Congress which reopened the U.S. government and provided funding through February 15, 2019. The legislation also established a bipartisan, bicameral committee tasked with negotiating an agreement on border security as part of a new spending bill for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Negotiations over President Trump’s prior request for $5.7 billion in funding for a southern border wall remain ongoing, with no clear resolution at this time.
With funding set to expire on February 15, 2019, and the possibility of another government shutdown after that date, if you require any short-term action by the Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Customs and Border Protection, Transportation Security Administration, or any other relevant government agency, we recommend you contact us for assistance as soon as possible.
