House passes funding bill to end shutdown as showdown over ICE gets 2-week Band-Aid

The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a funding bill to reopen the government and temporarily fund U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The move signals the end of a four-day partial government shutdown, as Americans have expressed their anger over the Trump administration's aggressive immigration policies, CNN reported. It has apparently created "another funding cliff" in two weeks for the Department of Homeland Security.

President Donald Trump was expected to sign the bill and end the stalemate quickly.

Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, and other GOP leaders urged Republican members to pass the bill despite their own misgivings about it, a move to prevent a shutdown similar to the 43-day shutdown in fall 2025 that stalled government funding and operations.
