Trump Endorses Deal to Prevent US Shutdown

On 30 January 2026, Donald Trump endorsed a temporary spending package negotiated by Senate Republicans and Democrats that averts a federal government shutdown and funds the Department of Homeland Security for two weeks. The deal separates DHS funding from the $1.2 trillion budget bill and addresses Democratic demands to curtail US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the deaths of protesters Alex Pretti and Renee Good during a Minneapolis raid on 28 January. The agreement follows a 43‑day shutdown last year and a 2‑month pause when Democrats blocked a spending bill over expiring health subsidies. A Pew poll shows Trump’s approval at 37%, down from 40% last fall, with 74% of Americans accepting ICE arrest footage and 59% sharing ICE operations. Chuck Schumer led the Democratic side in the bipartisan talks.
