BREAKING: House Ends 76-Day Shutdown.

The shutdown, triggered by Democratic demands for border agent oversight following fatal Border Patrol shootings, left agencies like the TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard operating with furloughs, delayed pay, and disrupted services. While the bill funds most of DHS, separate GOP-led reconciliation measures will fund ICE and CBP for three years without Democratic concessions.
