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 House of Representatives on April 30 passed a measure funding most Department of Homeland Security operations, ending a 76-day agency shutdown—the longest in U.S. history—that began in mid-February. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) remain unfunded amid ongoing partisan fights over immigration reforms.
