Overview
- President Trump signed the Senate-passed funding bill Thursday after a House voice vote, ending the 76-day partial shutdown of Homeland Security.
- The law funds TSA, the Coast Guard, FEMA, the Secret Service, and other DHS units through September 30 but excludes Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol.
- House Republicans adopted a budget plan late Wednesday to use reconciliation for immigration enforcement funding, prompting Speaker Mike Johnson to bring the Senate bill to a vote.
- GOP leaders say the separate immigration package could total about $70 billion, and Trump wants it on his desk by June 1.
- The clash began after Democrats sought new limits on enforcement tactics following two fatal agent shootings in Minneapolis, a fight that left many DHS staff unpaid for weeks and drove more than 1,000 TSA resignations.
