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 on the DHS funding lapse resolution remains tightly contested, with April 13-16 edging out after April 30 at 30% and 28.5% implied probabilities, reflecting a congressional impasse now in its sixth week over immigration enforcement and ICE restrictions. House Republicans' recent passage of a short-term continuing resolution was labeled dead on arrival by Senate Democrats, exacerbating GOP misalignment between chambers amid intensifying TSA airport delays and bipartisan huddles yielding no breakthrough. Mounting public pressure from travel disruptions and missed paychecks for federal workers adds urgency, but partisan holdouts persist. Upcoming Senate votes or leadership concessions could accelerate a deal, while deepening divides favor prolonged shutdown into late April or beyond.
