#TrumpEndsShutdown Yesterday, February 3, 2026, President Trump signed a **$1.2 trillion government funding bill**, officially ending a brief partial government shutdown that had begun over the previous weekend. The hashtag **#TrumpEndsShutdown** gained traction following his personal intervention on Truth Social, where he urged House Republicans to pass the Senate-approved bill "WITHOUT DELAY" and with "NO CHANGES." ## Key Details of the Deal The resolution of this shutdown is a significant moment in the 2026 legislative calendar, but it also sets up another high-stakes deadline in just a few days. * **Broad Funding:** The bill funds 11 of the 12 annual appropriations bills through **September 30, 2026**, covering major departments like Defense, Labor, and Health and Human Services. * **The DHS Exception:** In a compromise to get the bill through, the **Department of Homeland Security (DHS)** was only funded temporarily through **February 13, 2026**. * **The "Hammer":** House Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole described Trump’s role in the narrow 217–214 vote as "the hammer" that brought holdout Republicans into line. --- ## Why the Shutdown Happened The impasse was primarily triggered by a breakdown in negotiations over **immigration enforcement**. * **The Catalyst:** Tensions flared following the fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen, **Alex Pretti**, by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. * **Democratic Demands:** House Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries, refused full-year DHS funding without new restrictions on ICE and CBP, such as requirements for agents to wear body cameras and obtain warrants before entering private homes. ## What’s Next? While the wider government is stable for now, the **February 13 deadline** for DHS creates a "frantic 10-day window" for lawmakers to negotiate immigration reforms. If no deal is reached by then, another partial shutdown specifically affecting Homeland Security could occur.
