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 partial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown, now exceeding 45 days and the longest in U.S. history, stems from congressional impasse over appropriations tied to immigration enforcement reforms, driving trader consensus to 99.8% for an end after March 31. House Republicans passed temporary funding measures on March 27-28, including a 60-day extension and full DHS reopening bill, but Senate Democrats rejected them amid disputes, with both chambers entering a two-week recess last week. TSA staffing shortages have disrupted peak spring travel, yet no bipartisan deal emerged. Resolution hinges on post-recess negotiations or executive action, though slim odds persist for a pre-April 14 breakthrough.
