U.S. President Donald Trump signed a bipartisan agreement that ends a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that extended for more than 10 weeks, although it leaves out a key issue: funding for immigration agencies.
The measure, previously passed by Congress with support from both Democrats and Republicans, seeks to ensure the continuity of essential DHS functions while immigration negotiations continue.
What is included in the signed agreement

According to the White House, the agreement will allow key areas such as airport security, civil servant protection and emergency response to remain operational.
However, the package does not include funding for agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), whose budgets will be discussed in separate legislation.
The partial shutdown began on February 14, 2026, amid political tensions between the two parties.
Democrats blocked the approval of funds in protest of the deaths of two people during immigration raids by federal agencies, intensifying the debate over the use of force and immigration policies.
During this period, several functions of the Department of Homeland Security operated on a limited basis, generating pressure to reach an agreement.

One of the most relevant aspects of the agreement is the exclusion of funding for immigration enforcement.
This represents a significant concession to Democrats, who have demanded greater controls over the actions of agencies such as ICE, including issues such as detainers, agent identification and use of force.
For their part, Republican leaders have insisted on strengthening the resources and capabilities of these agencies in future negotiations.

Although the agreement puts an end to the partial shutdown, the immigration debate remains open and could generate new political confrontations in Congress.
Upcoming discussions will focus on defining the budget and the limits of action of immigration agencies, a key issue for millions of immigrants in the United States.
For the Latino community, this agreement offers a pause in institutional uncertainty, but keeps open concerns about the future of immigration policies.
The pending negotiation on ICE and CBP will be decisive in defining the direction of immigration enforcement in the coming months.
