Compared to that episode, the current shutdown is expected to be shorter and more limited, as lawmakers plan to reconvene soon and continue negotiations to prevent prolonged disruptions to core government operations.
Federal Departments Begin Shutdown Procedures
Despite optimism that the funding lapse will be brief, the White House has instructed several departments such as transportation, education, and defense to initiate shutdown protocols.
In an internal memo, agencies were told to report for duty to ensure an “orderly shutdown.” The administration expressed hope that normal operations would resume quickly once Congress reaches an agreement, while acknowledging that contingency measures are necessary to limit disruptions.
President Trump has urged House Republicans, who hold the majority, to approve the Senate-backed funding deal as soon as possible, warning that further delays could deepen uncertainty for federal workers and the public.
What Happens Next?
Lawmakers intend to use the two-week DHS funding period to negotiate a broader compromise. Democrats are pushing for immigration enforcement reforms to be included in any long-term budget deal, while Republicans are focused on maintaining operational stability.
