Season 2026 Episode 90 | 56m 46s

Thursday on the News Hour, lawmakers approve funding for most of the Department of Homeland Security, ending the longest government shutdown in history.

Plus, an immigration judge fired by the Justice Department gives an inside look at asylum cases that the Trump administration has halted.
