La Cámara de Representantes pone fin parcialmente al cierre de 76 días del DHS, excluyendo al ICE y a la CBP

La Cámara de Representantes aprobó el 30 de abril una medida que financia la mayor parte de las operaciones del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, poniendo fin a un cierre de la agencia de 76 días —el más largo en la historia de los Estados Unidos— que comenzó a mediados de febrero. El Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) y la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP) siguen sin recibir fondos en medio de las continuas disputas partidistas sobre las reformas migratorias.

Mediante votación a viva voz, la Cámara aprobó un plan respaldado por el Senado desde finales de marzo, reabriendo agencias como la TSA y el Servicio Secreto. Esto sucede tras un parche de financiación a corto plazo a principios de febrero que expiró, prolongando el cierre vinculado a las mortales acciones de aplicación de la ley federal en Minneapolis (la Operación Metro Surge, que resultó en la muerte de los ciudadanos Renee Good y Alex Pretti). Las demandas de los demócratas respecto a las cámaras corporales, la prohibición de cubrirse el rostro y las órdenes judiciales chocaron con la resistencia republicana, que incluía presiones a favor de la Ley SAVE. Se espera un proceso por separado para el ICE y la CBP. La medida evita más interrupciones como la causada por agentes de la TSA sin cobrar que generaban largas filas, según informes de Fox News y NPR.

House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced a deal on Wednesday to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security through September, while securing three years of funding for ICE and Border Patrol separately via budget reconciliation. The move, backed by President Trump, aims to bypass Democratic votes and end the record 47-day shutdown. Congress could act as early as Thursday despite being on recess.

The Department of Homeland Security faces a partial shutdown starting Friday night as Congress failed to extend its funding amid disputes over immigration enforcement reforms. Democrats are demanding changes following recent incidents involving ICE and CBP agents, while Republicans criticize the proposals as excessive. Agencies like TSA and FEMA will be affected, though ICE remains funded separately.

A limited shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security began early Saturday after Congress failed to extend DHS funding before a midnight deadline, a dispute driven by Democrats’ demands for new guardrails on federal immigration enforcement following two fatal shootings in Minneapolis. Most of the federal government remains funded through Sept. 30, but hundreds of thousands of DHS employees face delayed pay and disruptions to agencies such as TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard.

As the partial Department of Homeland Security shutdown—now in its second month since starting February 14—affects unpaid TSA workers and causes airport chaos, President Trump threatens to deploy ICE agents unless Democrats fund the agency. Elon Musk offers to cover TSA salaries amid the impasse.

Senator Bernie Sanders was seen boarding a first-class flight from Reagan National Airport on Friday afternoon, shortly after the Senate passed a partial Department of Homeland Security funding bill that the House later rejected. President Donald Trump criticized the Senate measure, calling it inappropriate, as the partial shutdown extended into its record-breaking phase. The Senate has adjourned for a two-week recess with no plans to reconvene before April 13.

Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, said Democrats could be “absolutely” willing to risk another Department of Homeland Security funding lapse at the end of September if Republicans do not accept changes to immigration enforcement, including limits on mask-wearing and a judicial-warrant requirement for certain arrests.
