The US Senate has passed legislation that will finance most of the Department of Homeland Security but withhold funds from ICE and part of Customs and Border Protection, the office of the Senate Democratic party leader, Chuck Schumer, said in a statement.

The agreement would fund DHS components such as the Transportation Security Administration and US Coast Guard, the statement said. CNN reported that the House of Representatives will still need to act before funded agencies within the department can reopen.

The Senate approved the funding package by a voice vote in a rare overnight session.

The majority leader, John Thune, could not be immediately reached for comment.

Donald Trump said on Thursday before the deal was reached that he would take executive action to pay 50,000 airport security workers.

Trump said on Sunday that his fellow Republicans should not reach an agreement on funding the department until Democrats in Congress approved a bill requiring people registering to vote to provide proof of US citizenship, known as the Save America Act.

He cited Democratic lawmakers’ demands related to a dispute over DHS funding, which has left the agency unfunded since 13 February.

Democrats in Congress have held up funding for DHS as they demand a change in the rules governing its immigration operations, after agents in Minneapolis shot and killed US citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

In an attempt to ramp up pressure on Democrats, last weekend Trump said he would put ICE agents in airports until Democratic lawmakers agree to a DHS budget bill.

The lack of funds has meant tens of thousands of Transportation Security Administration personnel have worked without pay for five weeks, leading some airport security workers to call in sick or quit entirely.

TSA absences last weekend reached their highest level since the partial government shutdown began, DHS said on Sunday.
