#PartialGovernmentShutdownEnds

The partial government shutdown in the US has ended. President Donald Trump reopened much of the federal government on Tuesday by signing a nearly $1.2 trillion spending package in the Oval Office.
The shutdown began on Saturday and lasted approximately four days. During this time, many key ministries and agencies, including Defense, Education, Transportation, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and the Treasury, were affected, and thousands of federal employees were temporarily furloughed.
Under the agreement approved by Congress:
Most federal agencies will be funded until September 30, 2026, the end of the 2026 fiscal year.
Funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its affiliates (particularly ICE - Immigration and Customs Enforcement) was extended only until February 13, 2026. This short-term extension was granted amid increasing criticism following the events in Minneapolis where federal agents killed two American citizens, and due to reforms demanded by Democrats (mandatory body cameras, use of force protocols, judicial decision requirements, etc.). If a new agreement on the DHS budget cannot be reached within the next 10 days, the department faces the risk of shutting down again. President Trump defended the agreement at the signing ceremony, saying, "This law is a great victory for the American people." However, experts warn that disagreements over immigration policies and ICE reform could lead to a new budget crisis in the coming weeks. The back pay for furloughed federal employees has been guaranteed, and government services are rapidly returning to normal.
