House Approves Bill to Fund the Department of Homeland Security, End Shutdown

The bipartisan measure funds most DHS operations and averts airport disruptions as the White House warned temporary TSA money was running out.

  • On Thursday, The House voted to fund most of the DHS, excluding immigration enforcement operations, and sent the bipartisan package to President Donald Trump, ending the longest agency shutdown in history.
  • Democrats refused to fund ICE and Border Patrol without operational changes following fatal shootings in Minneapolis, while Republicans insisted on full funding, creating the impasse.
  • DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned recently that funds were dwindling with salaries costing $1.6 billion every two weeks, as more than 1,000 Transportation Security Administration officers quit since the shutdown began.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson broke the deadlock by separating immigration funding into a distinct resolution, which Republicans adopted Wednesday by a 215-211 vote to bypass Democratic opposition.
  • Lawmakers will now draft the $70 billion ICE and Border Patrol funding bill, with voting expected in May, as President Donald Trump demanded the legislation reach his desk by June 1.
