The House has passed a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, ending the longest government shutdown in DHS history.

House Passes DHS Funding Bill, Ending Longest Shutdown Ever The House has approved a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, bypassing the Senate version without a vote. This clears funds for all DHS agencies except immigration enforcement operations. The bill, passed on April 30, 2026, is now headed to President Trumps desk for signature. After months of disagreement, lawmakers finally agreed, ending the longest government shutdown in DHS history. The bill excludes funding for ICE and Border Patrol, which were handled separately in the Senates budget plan. With Trumps signature, the shutdown saga is expected to end, allowing DHS to focus on its core duties. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
