The deal to reopen the US government has the Coast Guard (USCG) back operating at full capacity, and with pay checks to come.
The funding impasse that followed President Donald Trump's demands for a border wall with Mexico hampered some essential Coast Guard activities and caused the agency to miss paychecks for active duty and civilian members this month.
But with Friday's temporary, three-week spending bill, the USCG — along with the rest of the federal government — got a reprieve.
