thebalanced.newsUS Congress Ends DHS Shutdown, Excludes Immigration Enforcement Funding
The US Congress approved funding for most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), ending a 75-day partial shutdown that affected key agencies like FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, and Secret Service. However, the legislation excludes new funding for immigration enforcement agencies such as ICE and Border Patrol, leaving the political dispute unresolved. The House passed the bill by voice vote, and it now awaits President Trump's signature. Republicans separated immigration funding to bypass Democratic opposition, who demand policy reforms tied to enforcement.
