Latest Action: 02/03/2026 Became Public Law No: 119-75. ... This bill provides appropriations to several federal departments and agencies for the remainder of FY2026 and provides continuing FY2026 appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through February 13, 2026.

The enacted bill closed the funding gap for most agencies through the rest of FY2026, but only temporarily funded DHS, so the claim was not fully satisfied by this enactment alone.

"Congress must pay the TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, and other public safety agencies while we negotiate commonsense reforms to ICE and CBP..." ... "We could have ended the shutdown today!"

Bishop continued active efforts in late March 2026 to secure funding for DHS during the FY2026 budget year, indicating the broader government-open claim was still being worked rather than abandoned.
