WASHINGTON — The partial shutdown of US government operations has come to an end after President Donald Trump signed a budget package into law, restoring funding to most federal agencies.
The newly signed legislation secures funding for the majority of government departments and agencies through the end of September. However, the Department of Homeland Security remains excluded from the long-term funding agreement.
The partial shutdown had disrupted services and left thousands of federal workers uncertain about their pay and job security. The resolution brings relief to affected agencies and employees who can now resume normal operations.
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees border security, immigration enforcement, and other critical national security functions, will require separate funding negotiations. This exception reflects ongoing political disputes over border security and immigration policy.
Congressional leaders from both parties worked to reach the compromise that enabled the passage of the budget package. The measure received bipartisan support despite disagreements over specific provisions.
The signing marks a temporary resolution to the budget impasse, though debates over Homeland Security funding are expected to continue in the coming weeks.
