President Donald Trump has signed legislation funding much of the Department of Homeland Security, but not its immigration enforcement operations, ending the longest shutdown in the agency’s history.

Earlier in the Senate, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff faced another day of intense questioning as the Trump administration seeks a historic $1.5 trillion military budget for 2027. It was the first chance for senators to confront or praise how the military leaders are handling the Iran war.
