US House votes to end partial government shutdown after 76 days

Immigration enforcement has meanwhile been funded with $170 billion approved by Congress as part of Trump's tax cuts bill last year.

The two agencies would now get additional funding in another bill, currently being considered by the House.

Congressional Republicans now turn their attention to approve up to $70 billion in funding for ICE and CBP for the remainder of Trump's term, while Democrats seek tighter oversight.

Democrats said the shutdown was extended for more than a month by Speaker Johnson.

The White House budget office warned that homeland security operations not involved in immigration crackdown could run out of money in May.

The Trump administration warned that emergency DHS funds were set to run out later this week, with additional funding for ICE and CBP planned in another bill.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin celebrated the end of the shutdown on X, writing that the Democrat shutdown NEVER should have happened.

House Speaker Mike Johnson relented, allowing the Senate-passed bill to come to a floor vote, stating that the previous approach was inadequate.

The House voted to end the 76-day partial government shutdown, reopening DHS but not funding ICE or CBP.

Prosecutors say a man attempted to assassinate Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington.

The article notes that last week Republicans used a procedural maneuver to clear the bill in the Senate that did not require the support of opposition Democrats.

The Senate unanimously passed the same bill five weeks before the House vote, establishing a funding framework for DHS and border enforcement.

The Department of Homeland Security has continued to run without routine funds since February 14, 2026, leading to major disruptions and hours-long wait times at airports.
