Trump Says He Will Sign Order to Pay DHS Employees

WASHINGTON, April 2 (Reuters) – ⁠U.S. ⁠President Donald ⁠Trump said on Thursday ​that he would soon ‌sign an order ‌to pay ⁠all ⁠employees at the Department of Homeland Security.

“I ​will soon sign an order to pay ALL ​of the incredible employees at ⁠the Department ⁠of Homeland ⁠Security,” ​Trump said in a post on ​Truth ⁠Social.

The U.S. Senate cleared the way early on Thursday for ⁠the House of Representatives to pass a Department ⁠of Homeland Security funding bill through September 30 that would end a nearly seven-week partial shutdown. But it was unclear whether House ⁠Republican rank-and-file would support that agreement.
