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 50.8% chance the DHS shutdown ends March 28-31, driven by accelerating bipartisan talks on a continuing resolution after House passage of a stopgap funding measure last week amid threats of a full government shutdown. The prior measure expired March 14 for some agencies, prompting urgent negotiations over appropriations levels, with Democrats opposing Republican-proposed cuts to DHS programs like border security and FEMA. Senate leadership indicated a vote could come imminently, elevating near-term odds over the 33% for March 24-27, while partisan holdouts or filibuster risks keep 15% on extension past March 31. Upcoming floor votes and whip counts will be pivotal.
