Republicans Pass Legislation to End Democrat Shutdown and Fully Fund Border Security and Immigration Enforcement

WASHINGTON — Today, Speaker Johnson released the following statement after House Republicans successfully ended the Democrat shutdown and fully funded border security operations and immigration enforcement through the remainder of President Trump’s term. “With today’s vote, House and Senate Republicans have officially ended the third Democrat government shutdown of this Congress. And here’s the end result of Democrats’ record-setting obstruction: CBP and ICE will now be funded for the remainder of President Trump’s term and Democrats will have no ability to defund these agencies in the 119th or 120th Congresses,” Speaker Johnson said. “All that Democrats have achieved by their shutdown is a useful reminder to the American people of their support for open borders and keeping criminal illegal immigrants in American communities — policies that have been soundly rejected by the American people over and over again. We hope this episode serves as a future reminder to Democrats that when they shut the government down, they will receive less than nothing in return.” ###
