So we have time to get the work done.”From CNN's Ashley KilloughThe US House of Representatives passed legislation that funds President Trump’s $5 billion request for new border wall funds, attaching it to a must-pass spending bill to avert a partial government shutdown.The bill now heads to the Senate, where it is expected to be dead on arrival due to opposition over the border wall money.The vote was 217-185.Eight Republicans voted against the bill.While the Senate passed a short-term spending bill Wednesday to keep parts of the government open through Feb. 8, the President refused to sign it on Thursday, demanding legislation that included money for a border wall and igniting a scramble to produce the bill that the House voted on Thursday night.After the Senate rejects the House version as expected, it’s unclear yet whether the House will take up the original Senate version — which did not include border wall funds — as a last-ditch effort to avoid a shutdown.From CNN's Ashley KilloughThe US House of Representatives has started voting on the revised continuing resolution that includes $5 billion in new money for the border wall and nearly $8 billion in disaster funds.From CNN's Geneva SandsThe Department of Homeland Security published its potential shutdown plans earlier this week, stating that during a federal funding hiatus or lapse in appropriations, it "must be able to cease its government operations in an orderly fashion."Some DHS functions, like the Disaster Relief Fund, and fee-funded activities such as those funded by the Immigration Examinations Fee Account are except from the shutdown.
