DHS funding ends record shutdown as immigration funds move separately
TL;DR Summary
President Trump signed a bipartisan bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, ending the record shutdown, but funding for immigration enforcement (ICE and Border Patrol) will be handled later through budget reconciliation; DHS had operated on temporary funds since February, risking pay for workers and prompting TSA turnover, as lines at airports persisted. The House moved quickly after Senate approval to unlock the package using a GOP budget track, with immigration funding expected to be debated in May and aimed for action by June 1, 2026, to fund ICE/Border Patrol through 2029.
