President Donald Trump officially ended the brief partial U.S. federal government shutdown on February 3, 2026 by signing a $1.2 trillion government funding bill into law. The shutdown had begun on January 31 after Congress failed to approve full-year appropriations on time, leaving many federal agencies closed for four days.
The funding package—which passed the House in a narrow 217–214 vote—restores operations for most federal departments through September 30, 2026 and provides back pay for furloughed employees. However, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding was only extended temporarily to February 13 amid ongoing negotiations over immigration enforcement reforms.
The deal eases immediate economic disruption and resumes government services, but deeper budget disagreements—especially around DHS and immigration policy—remain unresolved and could lead to future funding showdowns.
Let me know if you’d like a brief timeline or analysis of what this means for markets or federal workers.#TRUMP #DHSFunding #TrumpEndsShutdown
