US EditionTrump signs bill funding the Department of Homeland Security, ending record shutdown
The bill restores funding for FEMA, TSA and other agencies after 76 days, while ICE and Border Patrol remain on a separate track.
- On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed a Senate-approved funding package for the Department of Homeland Security via voice vote, ending the record 76-day partial shutdown and sending the bill to President Donald Trump.
- The shutdown, which began in mid-February, stemmed from fierce disputes over immigration enforcement funding; the approved bill excludes Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol, a move Democrats demanded to bypass GOP opposition.
- House Republicans adopted a separate budget resolution late Wednesday, aiming to provide roughly $70 billion for immigration agencies through reconciliation, a party-line process that bypasses Democratic opposition entirely.
- Passage ensures immediate stabilization for the Transportation Security Administration , Secret Service, Coast Guard, and Federal Emergency Management Agency , restoring pay for thousands of federal employees and averting further disruptions.
- Texas Representative Chip Roy warned that isolating immigration funds sets a dangerous precedent, signaling internal GOP friction ahead of the June deadline to finalize enforcement agency funding and potential future legislative standoffs.
