WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a Senate-approved funding package, ending a short lapse in federal funding that triggered a partial government shutdown starting Saturday.

The lower chamber approved the measure by a vote of 217-214.

The House passage of the measure came after the U.S. Senate approved the funding package on Friday evening, just hours before government funding for several departments was set to expire.

The bill now heads to U.S. President Donald Trump, who has said he will sign it "immediately."

The latest package will fund multiple U.S. federal agencies for the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends on Sept. 30.

The agencies include the Department of Defense, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), originally included in the omnibus funding package, has been removed. The department will instead receive a two-week continuing resolution at current funding levels, allowing both parties and the White House to continue negotiations on immigration enforcement.

The recent two fatal shootings by federal enforcement personnel in the state of Minneapolis have prompted Democrats to seek changes to how immigration agencies operate. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said that until Immigration and Customs Enforcement is properly reined in and overhauled legislatively, the DHS funding bill does not have the votes to pass the Senate.
