US House Votes to Fund Homeland Security, Ending 76-Day Partial Shutdown

US lawmakers have voted to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), ending a 76-day partial government shutdown linked to federal immigration enforcement operations. Members of the US House of Representatives approved a Senate-passed bill via voice vote, restoring funding to much of DHS and concluding the longest shutdown in the agency's history.

The measure, which President Donald Trump supports, reopens DHS but does not include new funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or US Border Patrol. Democrats have advocated for changes to immigration enforcement operations, and Republicans are now expected to pursue separate funding for those specific agencies. The bipartisan package will now proceed to President Trump's desk for final approval.
