In a move to alleviate a weeks-long crisis, former President Donald Trump has signed a funding measure that will provide pay to federal workers who have been left without income due to the government shutdown. The legislation, which was approved by Congress, excludes funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a decision that has drawn mixed reactions from lawmakers and advocacy groups. The exclusion of ICE funding marks a significant shift in the federal government's priorities, as the agency has been at the center of controversy in recent years over its treatment of migrants and asylum seekers. The move is seen as a temporary reprieve for federal workers, who had been struggling to make ends meet since the shutdown began.
