Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Signs Bill To End Shutdown But DHS Funding Fight Looms
Caption: Trump Signs Bill To End Shutdown But DHS Funding Fight Looms. Donald Trump has signed a $1.2 trillion funding bill that ends a brief partial US government shutdown after the United States House of Representatives narrowly approved the package in a 217 ‑ 214 vote earlier in the day. The Senate had already cleared the deal last week. The legislation funds most federal agencies through the end of the fiscal year in September but it only extends Department of Homeland Security funding for a short period setting up a new deadline of mid ‑ February to reach a broader agreement. Democrats press for reforms to immigration enforcement, especially for ICE, in light of two fatal shootings of US citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis, the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti that intensified calls for accountability and changes to how agents operate. Protests and congressional pressure push lawmakers to seek body‑camera requirements and limits on enforcement tactics. With DHS funding still set to expire soon, lawmakers faced contentious negotiations over immigration policy and oversight in the coming days as part of efforts to avert another shutdown.
