Trump Signs Consolidated Funding Bill, Ending Partial Government Shutdown

HeadlineFeb 04, 2026

President Trump signed the consolidated funding bill hours after it passed the House, ending the partial government shutdown. The legislation includes only a two-week extension of funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Democratic lawmakers are calling for reforms on federal immigration enforcement as part of a deal to negotiate more funding for DHS. In a statement after the House vote, Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said, “Americans from every corner of the country are demanding accountability and an end to the lawless, paramilitary tactics that ICE is using in our communities. Absent bold and meaningful change, there is no credible path forward with respect to the Department of Homeland Security funding bill next week.”
