U.S. House Approves DHS Funding Bill to End Longest Government Shutdown

U.S. House Approves DHS Funding Bill to End Longest Government Shutdown

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bipartisan bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), effectively ending the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. The bill, which now awaits President Trump's signature, will provide funding for the DHS through September, excluding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol. These agencies are expected to be funded through a separate reconciliation bill that does not require Democratic support. The decision comes after weeks of delay and debate, with House Republicans initially opposing the Senate-passed bill due to technical concerns. The urgency to pass the bill was heightened by an assassination attempt at the White House correspondents’ dinner, emphasizing the need to ensure Secret Service agents receive their paychecks.

House Approves Bill to Fund DHS, Ending 76-Day Shutdown

The U.S. House of Representatives has unanimously approved a Senate-passed bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), effectively ending a 76-day partial government shutdown. The shutdown, the longest in U.S. history, had left many DHS agencies struggling to maintain operations. The bill's passage sends it to President Trump's desk for signing, which will officially conclude the shutdown. The impasse was primarily due to disagreements over funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol, key components of President Trump's immigration enforcement agenda. The resolution involves a two-track funding approach, with immediate reopening of DHS and separate funding for ICE and Border Patrol through budget reconciliation.
