This market will resolve to the calendar date range (ET) of the end date of the Department of Homeland Security shutdown which began on February 14, 2026. The end date of the shutdown will be determined by the date on which the funding bill required to reopen the Department of Homeland Security is signed by the President or otherwise enacted. The announcement of an impending reopen will not qualify. The resolution sources for this market will be information from official U.S. Government sources and a consensus of credible reporting.The DHS partial government shutdown, now in its seventh week and the longest in U.S. history, persists due to a partisan impasse over appropriations, with House Republicans rejecting a bipartisan Senate compromise on March 27 that would have funded most DHS components except ICE and parts of CBP. The House passed its own full-funding bill, H.R. 7744, earlier in March, but it stalled amid Senate Democratic opposition demanding immigration enforcement restrictions. Congress recessed for two weeks without resolution, returning no earlier than April 13, solidifying trader consensus at 100% for an end after March 31. Challenges could arise from an emergency session, presidential pressure via executive action, or unexpected bipartisan negotiations during recess, though historical patterns favor prolonged stalemates in divided government.
