WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump signed a bill on Feb. 3 to end the four-day partial government shutdown.

This comes just hours after the House passed the package in a 217–214 vote. Twenty-one Republicans voted against the Senate-passed package, while 21 Democrats voted for it.

The legislation fully funds five sectors of the federal government through the end of the fiscal year while extending funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) until Feb. 13. Despite its passage, the bill faced significant Democratic opposition, including from party leadership.

Trump, before signing the bill from the Oval Office, called it a “fiscally responsible package that actually cuts wasteful federal spending while supporting critical programs for the safety, security, prosperity of the American people.”

Congressional leaders now have less than two weeks to negotiate funding for DHS.

The legislation provides full-year funding for the departments of Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development. Democrats have demanded reforms to DHS and its immigration enforcement agencies before supporting full-year funding. Many House Democrats—including leaders—have also opposed extending DHS funding at all without those reforms in place.

Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) voiced strong opposition to the bill during a Feb. 2 hearing that sent the measure to the House floor.

“I will not vote for business as usual while masked agents break into people’s homes without a judicial warrant, in violation of the Fourth Amendment,” McGovern said, citing concerns over the executive branch’s use of administrative warrants instead of court-issued judicial warrants.

One Democrat, however, broke with her party. House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) said she would support the package, emphasizing the five full-year funding bills included in the measure that have Democratic backing.

“I will support this package,” DeLauro said, arguing that extending DHS funding preserves leverage to push for reforms in a future full-year DHS funding bill. Without the extension, she said, Democrats “won’t be able to bring the kinds of pressure” needed to secure changes.

McGovern reiterated his opposition outside the hearing room in response to a question from The Epoch Times.

“I personally cannot bring myself to go for one more cent for ICE without some serious guardrails put in place, and I think the leverage we have is now more so than two weeks from now,” he said.

The bill also faced resistance from some Republicans, who objected to the absence of the SAVE Act, which would require voter identification in federal elections.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) initially opposed the measure but later reversed her position, saying she had been told Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) would bring the bill to the floor, forcing opponents to conduct a “standing filibuster” rather than blocking it with a procedural objection.

Thune said Tuesday that Republicans would discuss using the so-called standing filibuster—which would require that Democrats hold the floor with continuous debate.

“As Thune has consistently demonstrated since he became leader, he doesn’t make unilateral decisions on things like this without a full discussion with the conference. Having that discussion is the commitment he’s made,” Thune spokesperson Ryan Wrasse wrote on X.
