US EditionGOP Leaders Labor for Support Ahead of Key Test Vote on Ending Partial Government Shutdown
House Republicans push bills funding most federal agencies through Sept. 30 and extend Department of Homeland Security funding for two weeks amid immigration enforcement negotiations.
- On Feb. 3, 2026, House Republicans move five fiscal 2026 spending bills and a two‑week DHS CR to the House floor to end the partial shutdown.
- After the Senate passed the $1.2 trillion package on Jan. 30, Democrats opposed the Department of Homeland Security portion following the killing of two Minneapolis residents by federal immigration agents.
- The Senate approved the package 71-29, affecting agencies including DHS, HHS, Education, Transportation, and furloughed federal workers, with votes requiring near-unanimous GOP support.
- If the House passes the package, it would end the partial shutdown, fund most federal departments and agencies through Sept. 30, and temporarily fund DHS to Feb. 13; President Donald Trump said he'll sign it immediately.
- Facing a 218-214 House GOP majority, the agenda includes a D.C. Act 26-217, which watchdogs warn could risk credit downgrades for the District.
