tl;dr

The House adopted a Senate-backed budget resolution by a 215-211 vote, directing committees to draft about $70 billion in funding for ICE and Border Patrol. The vote starts the process but does not provide final funding, and the DHS shutdown remains unresolved.

Mike Johnson Backs DHS Bill Ending Record Shutdown

The House passed a bill funding much of the Department of Homeland Security, and the record shutdown ended. The measure left immigration-enforcement funding out. Left-leaning outlets cast Johnson’s move to bring the Senate bill forward as a retreat and a win for Democrats. Center outlets focus on the bipartisan bill ending the shutdown while enforcement funding remains separate. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Republicans’ separate funding path for immigration enforcement, alongside Johnson’s eventual support for the Senate measure.
