April 30, 2026 House approved funding for DHS
Today, the House approved a bill by voice vote to fund all of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) except its immigration enforcement agencies, ending the longest agency shutdown in U.S. history. The shutdown has lasted more than 10 weeks, with DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin warning that the agency would soon run out of money to pay its employees. While House Republicans have opposed passing the Senate-approved bill, arguing that it should include funding for immigration enforcement agencies, House Speaker Mike Johnson reportedly faced pressure from the White House and some House Republican lawmakers to pass it before the chamber leaves town for a weeklong recess. President Trump is expected to quickly sign the bill into law.
Below is the DHS bill summary and report (please note that ICE and CBP funding were not included in the final bill):
