How the call settles
YES if DHS appropriations lapse when the February 13 funding period ends, producing a partial federal shutdown by the start of February 14; NO if funding is extended or enacted in time to avoid that lapse.
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because DHS appropriations expired at midnight on February 13, 2026 with no funding deal reached, triggering a partial shutdown affecting TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard beginning February 14, 2026, while the rest of the federal government (funded through the other 11 bills) continued operating.. Applied stored rule: YES if DHS appropriations lapse when the February 13 funding period ends, producing a partial federal shutdown by the start of February 14; NO if funding is extended or enacted in time to avoid that lapse.
Outcome evidence
DHS appropriations expired at midnight on February 13, 2026 with no funding deal reached, triggering a partial shutdown affecting TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard beginning February 14, 2026, while the rest of the federal government (funded through the other 11 bills) continued operating.
