House GOP ends bid to fund Homeland Security over immigration fight
Congress passed a Homeland Security funding bill as Speaker Boehner abandoned stalled attempts to add immigration restrictions. The 257 167 vote crossed party lines with Democrats backing the measure to avert a shutdown through Sept 30. Obama expected to sign. Senate previously approved. Boehner cited the need to move past the standoff and press court battles over executive action. Conservatives criticized the retreat, urging a tougher stance ahead of 2016.
