WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump signed bipartisan legislation on Thursday funding much of the Department of Homeland Security, but not its immigration enforcement operations. The legislation won final approval in the House earlier Thursday, ending the longest DHS shutdown in history.

The House voted by voice without a formal roll call to pass the measure. The department had been without routine funds since February 14. It counts approximately 260,000 employees across the Transportation Security Administration, the Coast Guard, FEMA and other operations. More than 1,000 TSA officers have quit since the shutdown began, according to Airlines for America.

The Senate unanimously approved the package in a middle-of-the-night vote a month ago. Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, who proposed the bill more than 70 days ago, commented on passage. "It is about damn time," DeLauro said.

The package excluded U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol. Democrats refused to fund those agencies without changes to their operations after federal agents fatally shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both U.S. citizens, during protests against immigration actions in Minneapolis. Republicans did not agree to fund TSA and other parts of DHS without money for ICE and Border Patrol operations.

House Republicans adopted a budget resolution late Wednesday on a largely party-line vote focusing on providing $70 billion for immigration enforcement and deportations for the remainder of Trump's term, which expires in January 2029. Lawmakers will next draft the actual $70 billion ICE and Border Patrol funding bill, with voting expected in May. Trump said he wants the bill on his desk by June 1.

Rep. Chip Roy of Texas objected to the separation of the funding tracks. "Isolating the immigration-related money on a separate track is offensive to the men and women who serve in ICE and Border Patrol, and are serving this country every single day," Roy said.
