Overview
- The partial shutdown ended after President Donald Trump signed a budget package that the House passed 217–214 following earlier Senate approval.
- Most federal agencies are now funded through the end of the fiscal year, while the Department of Homeland Security is on a two‑week extension that expires in mid‑February.
- Roughly 20 Democrats backed the House measure and a similar number of Republicans opposed it, reflecting fragile cross‑party dynamics.
- The short DHS bridge reflects unresolved demands for ICE reforms, including body cameras, limits on masked or undercover tactics, stronger independent review, and restored warrant standards for certain entries.
- DHS announced that immigration officers in Minneapolis will be equipped with body cameras, and negotiators now face a mid‑February deadline to avoid another funding clash.
