JUST IN: House Approves Legislation To End Partial Government Shutdown

The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a funding package to end the partial government shutdown. President Trump said he will sign it immediately. The House passed the legislation in a 217-214 vote. BREAKING – IT’S OFFICIAL: The House of Representatives has just voted to RE-OPEN the government, 217-214 DHS has also been funded through Feb. 13 It now heads to President Trump’s desk, where he will sign off, ending the 4 day partial shutdown. pic.twitter.com/BiYqyRPFb9 — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) February 3, 2026 NBC News has more: The legislation will ensure full-year funding for the federal government through the end of September, with the lone exception of the Department of Homeland Security, which is put on a two-week leash as Democrats insist on changes after federal agents fatally shot two Americans in Minneapolis. The measure tees up a frantic 10-day window for Congress to negotiate a DHS funding agreement as Democrats demand reforms to rein in ICE and CBP. The new deadline when DHS funding will expire is Feb. 13. Earlier in the day, House Republicans voted 217-215 to advance the legislation, a procedural motion for which Democrats provided no help. If lawmakers do not negotiate a deal to fund DHS by February 13th, the department will shut down, impacting numerous agencies. “Passing a FULL budget for DHS is CRITICAL in our fight to keep Americans safe,” Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) said.

Tony Gonzales (@RepTonyGonzales) February 3, 2026 ABC News shared further: The TSA, Coast Guard, Customs and Border Patrol, U.S. Secret Service, CISA and FEMA would be impacted even though lawmakers’ focus is on Immigration and Customs Enforcement reform. ICE operations would not be impacted after it received $75 billion in separate funding from the already-passed “Big Beautiful Bill.” Earlier — after some drama and delay — the House passed a key procedural hurdle that set up the later vote, with Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky as the only no vote along with all Democrats. The vote was held open for about 45 minutes as several Republicans held out on casting their votes. Republican leaders ultimately worked the holdouts to secure enough votes to advance the package. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who faces an incredibly tight margin, could only afford to lose one Republican vote with all members present and voting.
