The House of Representatives voted 217–214 on Tuesday to pass a $1.2 trillion spending package, effectively ending a four-day partial government shutdown and sending the legislation to President Donald Trump’s desk for an immediate signature.

The deal reflects a rare bipartisan compromise. While the majority of House Democrats and 21 Republicans opposed the measure, it was carried by a unified GOP conference and 21 crossover Democrats.

This comprehensive package secures long-term funding through September 30, 2026, for 11 of the 12 annual appropriations bills, covering vital departments such as Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services (HHS), and Education.

To break the stalemate over the final remaining bill, lawmakers agreed to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) only through February 13^th.

This 10-day stopgap provides a narrow window for both parties to negotiate the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies and potential new “guardrails” for ICE operations. President Trump, who urged Republicans to stay united during the standoff, confirmed he will sign the bill without delay to restore full federal operations.
