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.

While the law is clear, some White House memos suggest uncertainty about guaranteed back pay for furloughed workers, leading to potential legal challenges. Back pay is expected to be issued as soon as the shutdown concludes, but contractors and unemployment benefits have different rules. The situation remains uncertain until a resolution is reached.
