House Passes Spending Bill Ending 3-Day Shutdown, Leaving DHS Funded Only to Feb. 13

Homeland Security faces a Feb. 13 funding deadline tied to Democratic demands over immigration tactics following deadly Minneapolis raids.

Overview

  • The Republican-led House approved the package 217–214, with 21 Republicans opposing it and 21 Democrats voting yes.
  • Most federal agencies receive full-year funding through October, restoring operations after the brief partial shutdown.
  • Funding for the Department of Homeland Security runs only until February 13, setting up immediate negotiations on immigration policy.
  • Democrats are pressing for new limits on enforcement tactics after two U.S. citizens were killed during federal raids in Minneapolis last month.
  • President Donald Trump is expected to sign the bill quickly after GOP leaders persuaded a divided conference and set aside some conservative priorities.
