Representanthuset avslutar delvis 76 dagar lång nedstängning av DHS, exkluderar ICE och CBP

Representanthuset röstade den 30 april igenom en åtgärd som finansierar större delen av USA:s inrikessäkerhetsdepartements (DHS) verksamhet och därmed avslutar den 76 dagar långa nedstängningen – den längsta i USA:s historia – som inleddes i mitten av februari. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) och Customs and Border Protection (CBP) förblir utan finansiering mitt under pågående politiska strider om immigrationsreformer.

Genom en muntlig omröstning godkände representanthuset en senatsstödd plan från slutet av mars, vilket innebär att myndigheter som TSA och Secret Service återupptar sin verksamhet. Detta följer på en första kortsiktig finansieringslösning i början av februari som löpte ut, vilket förlängde nedstängningen kopplad till dödliga federala polisinsatser i Minneapolis (Operation Metro Surge, där medborgarna Renee Good och Alex Pretti dödades). Demokraternas krav på kroppskameror, förbud mot ansiktsskydd och domstolsbeslut stötte på motstånd från republikanerna, som bland annat drev på för SAVE Act. En separat process förväntas för ICE och CBP. Beslutet förhindrar ytterligare störningar, såsom obetalda TSA-agenter som orsakar långa köer, enligt rapporter från Fox News och 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.

The Transportation Security Administration announced that its PreCheck program will continue operating despite an initial announcement suspending it amid a partial U.S. government shutdown. The shutdown, which began on February 14, 2026, stems from disputes over Department of Homeland Security funding and immigration policies. While Global Entry's status remains unclear, the decision aims to manage staffing constraints without fully halting expedited services.
