The House passed a Department of Homeland Security funding bill, ending a shutdown that the article describes as lasting 75 days; the measure excludes new funding for ICE and CBP. Speaker Mike Johnson and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin both criticized Democrats over the shutdown and border enforcement.
The House passed a bill funding most of the Department of Homeland Security, but not new funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Customs and Border Protection. The article says the bill ended a 75-day partial shutdown and was sent to President Trump. Funding for ICE and CBP is expected to be considered separately, while agencies including the Coast Guard, FEMA, the Secret Service and CISA are expected to receive funding.
After the passage, Speaker Mike Johnson said House Republicans were delivering for Americans and accused Democrats of opposing border security and immigration enforcement. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin called the shutdown unnecessary and said ICE and CBP would be funded through reconciliation without Democratic votes.
