The Senate early Friday approved funding to reopen the Department of Homeland Security that would pay agents in the Transportation Security Administration, who have not been receiving checks since the Feb. 14 shutdown, and most other agencies within DHS, but not for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The deal was approved unanimously by the Senate without a roll call, and will go to the House next, which is expected to consider the legislation on Friday, according to the Associated Press.

“We can get at least a lot of the government opened up again, then we’ll go from there,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune said. “Obviously, we’ll still have some work ahead of us.”

The funding was approved amid a 42-day standoff between Democrats and Republicans over funding DHS, as the former refuses to fund ICE unless reforms are included. 

The DHS shutdown has resulted in TSA agents not being paid during that time, leading to high callout rates at some airports and at least 500 reportedly quitting. TSA agents will miss another paycheck on Friday if the House doesn't approve the funding.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said his party would continue fighting to ensure President Trump's “rogue” immigration operation “does not get more funding without serious reform.”

The Senate's deal would fund much of the rest of DHS, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Coast Guard, and TSA, but without funding for ICE. 

The package did not put any new limits on immigration enforcement, which has remained largely uninterrupted by the shutdown due to the One Big Beautiful Bill passed last year, which included $75 billion for ICE operations.

The funding deal's passage in the House will likely require bipartisan support, as lawmakers on both the Democrats' and Republicans' sides push back.

Conservative Republicans demand full funding for ICE, with many promising to ensure ICE has the resources it needs in the next budget package to carry out Trump's agenda.

“We will fully fund ICE. That is what this fight is about,” Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., said as he tried to offer legislation to fund the agency. “The border is closing. The next task is deportation.”
