Trump signs law ending the partial shutdown of the federal government in the US. On February 4, 2025, the president ratified the funding bill approved by the House of Representatives, resolving the budget impasse that had lasted since January 31, according to BlockBeats.
The legislation provides funding for various government departments until September 30, completing the fiscal year cycle. For the Department of Homeland Security, the center of recent controversies over immigration enforcement operations, funding was allocated for only two weeks, a strategy that keeps the possibility of future revisions open.
This temporary funding mechanism serves a dual purpose: ending the immediate government shutdown and creating room for negotiations aimed at strengthening the department's operations. The measure reflects the political balance needed to move forward with government continuity while leaving space for deliberations on administrative reforms.
