The US House of Representatives passed a roughly $1.2 trillion spending package on Tuesday (Feb 3) to end the partial government shutdown in the country. The measure was sent to the American president, Donald Trump, and also set the stage for debate over Homeland Security funding in Congress. The vote was 217-214. The funding will cover the vast majority of the government's budget for the budget year ending September 30.
The POTUS has said he will sign the bill when it reaches his desk. Trump has been pressuring Republicans to adopt the spending bill and end the shutdown.
"We will work together in good faith to address the issues that have been raised, but we cannot have another long, pointless, and destructive Shutdown that will hurt our Country so badly," Trump said in a Truth Social post in reference to a record 43-day closure last summer.
If Republicans don’t concede to enacting significant new mandates for DHS by the new Feb. 13 deadline, the department many Democrats have called “rogue” will face another funding lapse or short-term patch.

“We have a list that we want done, and we aren’t settling for half-measures,” Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.), the No. 3 party leader, told reporters, Politico reported. He warned that if Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Speaker Mike Johnson “don’t want to come to the table and negotiate real reform, then they’re going to have to explain to the American public why they’re shutting down agencies.”
