House Republicans broke a month‑long stalemate by passing a bill that restores funding for the Department of Homeland Security through Sept. 30. The vote, held by voice after a short debate, ended a shutdown that left thousands of security workers unpaid and stalled after President Trump’s immigration crackdown and a deadly incident in Minneapolis. The move relied on Democrats to move the measure forward.

Earlier, Senate Republicans had approved funding for all DHS activities except ICE and border patrol, promising a separate bill that Democrats could not block. House GOP, however, had resisted voting for a package that excluded those agencies, prompting Speaker Mike Johnson to use a procedural shortcut that limited debate and required a supermajority. The bill now clears the wall.

The legislation covers DHS operations but leaves ICE and parts of border patrol funded by an earlier Republican‑only measure. House and Senate leaders now seek an additional $70 billion to cover immigration enforcement through the end of President Trump’s second term, a move designed to evade a Democratic filibuster. The settlement stabilizes federal security spending and signals a new fiscal strategy for the agency.
