Overview

  • The House passed the package 217–214, with 21 Democrats voting yes and 21 Republicans voting no, sending it to President Trump for signature.
  • The legislation funds most federal agencies through September and keeps DHS operating under a continuing resolution that expires on Feb. 13.
  • Passage ends the short partial shutdown that began Saturday after DHS was split from the broader spending bill.
  • Democrats plan to withhold longer-term DHS funding without reforms such as unmasking agents, requiring body cameras, tighter warrant rules, and ending roving patrols, while GOP leaders rejected some demands and dropped a push to attach the SAVE Act.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered immediate body-worn cameras for federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, with expansion nationwide as resources allow.
