US EditionTrump signs bill to end partial government shutdown, setting stage for next fight
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed a roughly $1.2 trillion spending package, ending a four-day partial government shutdown and funding most federal agencies through Sept. 30.
- The partial government shutdown began Saturday after the House left without acting on the Senate plan, while Senate negotiators and the White House separated DHS funding into a short-term stopgap.
- In a tight floor vote, the House approved the package 217-to-214, with twenty-one Democrats joining most Republicans while an equal number of Republicans opposed it amid White House pressure and late negotiations.
- The bill reopens much of the federal government and federal workers will receive back pay, but immigration enforcement reforms remain unresolved, setting up further negotiations as DHS funding expires next week.
- Both parties warn negotiations will be politically fraught as Republican leaders oppose warrant reform but consider other enforcement changes, with DHS beginning to deploy body-worn cameras starting in Minneapolis on Monday.
