The United States House of Representatives has approved a $1.2 trillion spending package to conclude a partial government shutdown. The bipartisan legislation, passed on Tue, Jan 31, 2026, reinstates funding for essential federal programs, particularly those within the Departments of Labor and Education. The bill received 217 votes in favor and 214 against in the Republican-controlled House.

Twenty-one Republicans opposed the bill, while 21 Democrats supported it. The legislation is now pending President Donald Trump's approval to be enacted.

The bill temporarily extends funding to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for two weeks, until Feb 13, 2026. It allows for further negotiations regarding immigration enforcement reforms, following recent incidents involving federal agents. Eleven annual appropriations bills were concluded, funding government agencies and programs through Sep 30, 2026.

The issue of immigration remains a significant debate point. Democrats demand new regulations for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, including judicial warrant requirements, independent investigations, and mandatory body cameras. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries emphasized these reforms in a statement after the vote.

Speaker Mike Johnson anticipates that both sides will reach an agreement by the deadline, emphasizing the importance of cooperation in the upcoming negotiations.

Some Republicans sought to amend the bill to include stricter voting requirements, but this effort was unsuccessful. The House Republicans maintain a narrow 218-214 majority, limiting their ability to accommodate dissent within the party.
