flag Speaker Johnson says he has GOP support to end the shutdown by Tuesday, delaying DHS funding for ICE reforms.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said on February 1, 2026, that he has enough Republican support to end the partial government shutdown by Tuesday, citing travel disruptions from a recent snowstorm as a key delay. He plans to fund all federal agencies except the Department of Homeland Security by Tuesday, followed by two weeks of negotiations on Immigration and Customs Enforcement reforms. The Senate had already approved a spending package separating DHS funding to keep other agencies operational. Democrats are pushing for changes to ICE, including body cameras and ending roving patrols, while Johnson defended current practices, saying the administration may implement adjustments. A final agreement remains pending.
