Trump signs funding package ending shutdown, guarantees back pay for furloughed federal workers

A broad funding package ends the short-term government shutdown and funds most federal agencies through the fiscal year, including a two-week continuing resolution for DHS; President Trump signed the bill into law, guaranteeing back pay for furloughed federal employees. The package prioritizes DHS spending on border security and immigration enforcement, while Democrats seek guardrails such as limits on ICE operations, warrants for home entries, and body-camera requirements. The House approved the measure 217-214, OPM updated its guidance to reflect back pay, and some IRS modernization funds were trimmed.
