DHS funding ends shutdown as Trump signs relief bill, shifting focus to immigration fights

President Trump signed bipartisan DHS funding to end the 76‑day shutdown, restoring pay and operations for key agencies (Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service, FEMA, CISA) while some immigration agencies remain unfunded and DHS payrolls are expected to resume with paychecks likely by May 8; Republicans plan a separate package for ICE/CBP, setting up a new round of budget battles as lawmakers recess. The day’s broader docket also features a bipartisan AI workforce data bill backing from major tech players and continued GOP policy clashes on war powers, surveillance, and the farm bill.
