President Donald Trump on April 30 signed legislation ending the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown after 11 weeks.
The department had been partially shuttered for 76 days since Feb. 14, resulting in long Transportation Security Administration lines at airports nationwide.
“After 76 days, the longest government shutdown in history is over. @DHSgov is back open, @ICEgov and @CBP will be funded through reconciliation (with NO Democrat votes) so liberals can’t play games with federal law enforcement funding. To be clear, this Democrat shutdown NEVER should have happened,” posted Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on X.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
