WASHINGTON — The U.S. House voted 217-214 to fund several federal agencies but keeping the Department of Homeland Security on ice— no new funding. There will be a separate vote on Homeland Security in two weeks. In the meantime, Congress wants answers to why Homeland has made hundreds of arrests without warrants in Minneapolis, many brutal, two with fatalities. At issue for Congress is $10 billion that Homeland wants to escalate its Trump -directed deportation and law-and-order campaign that’s spiraled violently out of control. The funding package, without a single dollar for Homeland, now goes to Trump for his approval, which is expected. Here’s how Minnesota and Wisconsin’s House delegations voted:
