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 Polymarket implies a 37% chance the DHS shutdown ends before April 1, reflecting optimism from recent bipartisan talks on a continuing resolution to extend government funding past the March 31 appropriations deadline affecting DHS operations like border security and immigration enforcement. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate leaders advanced a framework deal this week amid pressure to avert a partial shutdown, with key holdouts on spending cuts and policy riders narrowing after White House meetings. Lower odds for mid-April windows (e.g., 17.5% for April 5-8) account for potential delays from floor votes, amendments, or debt ceiling complications, though historical patterns favor short-term CRs over prolonged closures. Upcoming House and Senate votes this week could shift probabilities rapidly.
