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.Trader consensus prices a 50% implied probability for the DHS shutdown ending before April 1, driven by rapid progress on a bipartisan continuing resolution that passed the House on March 22 after Senate advancement, extending funding for DHS and other agencies through September 30. This follows weeks of tense negotiations amid partisan divides over spending cuts demanded by House conservatives and full appropriations sought by Democrats, averting the midnight March 22 deadline. President Biden's expected prompt signature bolsters near-term resolution odds, while lingering holdouts and procedural hurdles sustain 10-14% pricing for early April windows like April 1-4 or 5-8; prolonged talks could push toward after April 30 at 16.5%. No new developments in the last 24 hours, but final enactment remains the key catalyst.
