AI Summary
Senate and House Republicans have reached a deal to end a Department of Homeland Security shutdown after the House GOP rejected a reopening bill just days earlier. The agreement represents a sharp reversal by GOP lawmakers and President Trump following the Friday rejection. The bill to reopen DHS could be approved as early as Thursday, ending the operational disruption at the federal agency responsible for border security, immigration enforcement, and emergency management. The quick turnaround signals internal GOP negotiations shifted positions on the shutdown's terms. The deal avoids a prolonged closure of the department during a period when immigration enforcement remains a priority for the Trump administration.

A bill to reopen the department is expected to be approved as early as Thursday.
