The House and Senate approved a bipartisan measure to fund much of the Department of Homeland Security, ending a 75-day partial shutdown. Reports vary on which agencies remained unfunded, with sources noting that immigration enforcement funding (ICE and CBP) was excluded while agencies such as the Secret Service and TSA were funded. President Trump signed the bill, effectively reopening key DHS components and resuming payroll for many DHS workers. Some outlets emphasize a voice vote and a last-minute procedural deal, while others highlight ongoing gaps in immigration enforcement funding. Discrepancies center on the scope of funding for ICE/CBP versus other DHS elements.
