Congress Ends Record-Setting DHS Shutdown with Fund Approval

Congress has successfully passed a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), effectively ending a record-setting government shutdown that lasted 76 days. The House voted to approve the Senate-backed legislation, which aims to fund most of the DHS operations, including the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). While some disputes remain, particularly regarding funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), this decision marks a significant step in resolving the ongoing funding impasse. The bill has now been sent to the President for signing, concluding a long period of uncertainty and disruption.
