House Sets Tuesday Vote To End Partial Shutdown With Two-Week DHS Extension

The vote tests a Senate tactic that buys time for negotiations on ICE reforms.

Overview

  • A partial shutdown began Saturday after the House did not act on a Senate-passed funding compromise.
  • The House Rules Committee advanced the measure Monday night, clearing a floor vote for Tuesday.
  • The Senate plan funds most federal agencies while decoupling the Department of Homeland Security with a standalone two-week appropriation to enable talks on oversight.
  • President Donald Trump urged swift passage and said he would sign the bill if it reaches his desk.
  • DHS said Minneapolis immigration staff will be equipped with body cameras as Democrats press for broader constraints and Republican dissent threatens the House vote.
