Trump signs bill to end partial government shutdown, setting stage for next fight

The House passed a $1.2 trillion bill funding most of the government through Sept. 30 and DHS for two weeks to allow immigration enforcement talks after a partial shutdown.

  • On Tuesday, the House passed a roughly $1.2 trillion spending package to end a partial government shutdown, funding most agencies through Sept. 30.
  • After the Minneapolis deaths, lawmakers sought extra time to negotiate guardrails on the Trump administration's immigration enforcement, with Democrats demanding new restrictions following the killing of Alex Pretti.
  • The House approved the package 217-214 after procedural maneuvers, including guarantees of back pay for federal employees briefly furloughed despite recent Office of Personnel Management guidance changes.
  • The measure once signed will end the partial shutdown that began Saturday and now heads to President Donald Trump with a two-week continuing resolution for DHS.
  • Lawmakers also rescinded $11.6 billion in multi-year IRS modernization funds, leaving $26 billion for modernization, while about 80% of DHS FY 2026 spending covers FEMA and TSA priorities.
