The government shutdown, in photos

Updated 12:16 PM EST, Mon January 28, 2019
Link Copied!

The longest government shutdown in US history -- 35 days -- ended on Friday, January 25, when President Donald Trump announced a deal to reopen the government temporarily through February 15.

Parts of the federal government shut down December 22 after the White House and Congress failed to reach a spending deal in an impasse over money for a border wall. Funding expired for roughly a quarter of the government, including the departments of Homeland Security, Justice and Housing and Urban Development.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi signs the deal to reopen the government on January 25. Democrats insisted throughout the shutdown that Trump should sign a measure to reopen the government before any border security negotiations could begin.
