众议院共和党人不确定民主党人是否在国土安全部(DHS)问题上抱有诚意谈判,而部分停摆的可能性正与日俱增。
国会必须在2月13日年底前制定一项两党计划,为国土安全部本财年剩余时间提供资金。
一项国土安全部资金法案在参议院至少需要一些民主党支持,在参议院中,两党合作对推动大多数立法所需的60票门槛至关重要。
但在由简单多数统治的众议院中,共和党人对民主党领袖为换取支持而提出的一些关键要求表示犹豫。

“我很惊讶他们竟然把这种话大声说出来,他们想要彻底废除移民和海关执法局,这正是一些成员实际上正在说的话,”得克萨斯州共和党人、共和党研究委员会主席奥古斯特·普卢格告诉福克斯新闻数字版。”所以我认为这些要求是荒谬的。”
他和其他保守派人士还表示,他们不相信民主党人在为合法妥协进行谈判——这种缺乏信任的态度,在距离国土安全部可能停摆仅剩九天的情况下,使任何潜在协议都岌岌可危。
“我们经历了四年完全没有诚意的谈判,他们真的把我们的国家置于一个非常糟糕的境地,”普卢格说。

众议院拨款委员会成员、西弗吉尼亚州共和党人赖利·摩尔表示,在与民主党人讨论这个问题时,他对信任问题有类似担忧。
田纳西州共和党人安迪·奥格尔斯说:”我认为和立法恐怖分子谈判有点困难。”
众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人哈基姆·杰弗里斯和参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默在周三的新闻发布会上列出了向白宫提出的四项关键要求——禁止移民和海关执法局特工戴口罩、为联邦官员强制配备随身摄像头、要求逮捕前获得司法令状,以及禁止驱逐和拘留美国公民。

虽然两党在随身佩戴摄像头方面有相当大的共识,但像强迫移民和海关执法局特工摘下口罩以及获取司法令状等要求遭到共和党人的严厉批评。
“禁止戴口罩是疯狂的。不,这是行不通的。强制逮捕时需要司法令状这一要求是个诡计。他们试图让我们承认这是某种系统性发生的事情或其他类似情况。美国人正在被驱逐出境,所以这是虚假的,”摩尔说。”这一切都是政治性的,完全是他们的宣传。”
其所在州在最近边境危机中首当其冲的得克萨斯州共和党人贝丝·范·杜因告诉福克斯新闻数字版:”让执法部门履行职责吧。如果他们没有被公开个人信息,就不需要戴口罩。”
民主党新提案将限制移民和海关执法局拘留刑事非法移民的关键工具
摩尔指出,清单上的另一项要求——为移民和海关执法局特工强制配备随身摄像头,是国土安全部最初资金妥协方案的一部分,但民主党人成群结队地退出了。
“那是在他们不愿意通过的法案中——我们谈判的国土安全部法案里就有这个条款。所以如果他们那么想要随身摄像头,就投票支持该法案,”他说。
其他共和党人,如密歇根州共和党人汤姆·巴雷特和蒙大拿州共和党人特洛伊·唐宁表示,他们对民主党人的要求不太熟悉,但更希望能与对方达成协议。
“我希望他们是[真诚谈判的],但在看到更多进展之前,我将暂不作判断,”巴雷特说。

然而,唐宁指出,民主党人内部也并非总是意见一致。杰弗里斯特别投票反对舒默上周与唐纳德·特朗普总统达成的两党妥协方案,该方案旨在在左翼拒绝初始协议后重新开放联邦政府。
“听起来他们内部并不总是意见一致,所以我甚至不知道如何定义’诚意’,因为看起来他们在参众两院之间并没有诚意,”唐宁说。
与此同时,民主党人指责特朗普在明尼阿波利斯市纵容移民和海关执法局滥用法律,在那里,联邦特工在针对特朗普移民政策打击的示威活动中杀死了两名美国公民,导致紧张局势急剧升级。
在新闻发布会后,他们还在同意全面的国土安全部资金协议之前提出了六项额外要求。
杰弗里斯和舒默在一封附在这些要求中的信件中写道:”联邦移民特工不能继续在我们的城市制造混乱,同时使用本应用于降低工薪家庭生活成本的纳税人资金。美国人民有理由期望他们的民选代表采取行动约束移民和海关执法局,确保不再有生命逝去。”

House GOP rips ‘insane’ Democrat demand to ‘unmask’ ICE agents as DHS shutdown looms
DHS runs out of funding and risks a shutdown on Feb 13

House Republicans are unsure if Democrats are negotiating in good faith on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with the chances of a partial shutdown growing larger by the day.
Congress has until the end of Feb. 13 to produce a bipartisan plan funding DHS for the remainder of the fiscal year.
A DHS funding bill will need at least some Democratic support in the Senate, where bipartisan cooperation is critical to the 60-vote threshold to advance most legislation.
But in the House, which governs by a simple majority, Republicans are balking at some of the key demands made by Democratic leaders in exchange for their support.

“I’m surprised that they didn’t just say the quiet part out loud, that they want to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement altogether, which is what some of the members are actually saying,” Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital. “So I think those demands are ridiculous.”
He and other conservatives have also said they do not believe Democrats are negotiating for a legitimate compromise — a lack of trust that puts any potential deal on shaky ground with only nine days until a possible DHS shutdown.
“We had four years of anything but good faith, and they really put our country into a really bad situation,” Pfluger said.

Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.Va., a member of the House Appropriations Committee, said he had similar concerns about trust when engaging with Democrats on the topic.
And Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., said, “I think it’s kind of hard to negotiate with legislative terrorists.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., rolled out a list of four key asks for the White House during a press conference on Wednesday — a ban on ICE agents wearing masks, mandatory body cameras for federal officers, requiring judicial warrants for arrests, and a ban on deporting and detaining U.S. citizens.

SHUTDOWN AVERTED FOR NOW, BUT SENATE WARNS DHS FIGHT COULD TRIGGER ANOTHER IN DAYS
While there is considerable bipartisan agreement on body-worn cameras, demands like forcing ICE agents to remove masks and getting judicial warrants have been largely criticized by Republicans.
“The ban on masks is insane. No, that’s a non-starter. This idea of this ban on deporting U.S. citizens thing, is a ruse. They’re trying to get us to admit this is happening in some type of systematic manner or something like that. Americans are getting deported out of the country, so that’s fake,” Moore said. “This is all political, and it’s all messaging on their part.”
Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, whose state was on the front lines of the recent border crisis, told Fox News Digital, “Let law enforcement do their job. They wouldn’t need to wear a mask if they weren’t getting doxxed.”
NEW DEM PROPOSAL WOULD RESTRICT ICE’S KEY TOOL TO DETAIN CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS
Moore pointed out that another ask on that list, mandatory body-worn cameras for ICE agents, was part of an initial DHS funding compromise that Democrats walked away from in droves.
“That was in the bill that they don’t wanna pass — the homeland bill that we had negotiated, that was in the bill. So if they want body cams so bad, vote for the bill,” he said.
Other Republicans, like Reps. Tom Barrett, R-Mich., and Troy Downing, R-Mont., said they were not as familiar with Democrats’ demands but were more hopeful about possibly striking a deal with the other side.
“I would hope that they are [negotiating in good faith], but I’ll withhold judgment until we see a little bit more of how that goes,” Barrett said.

Downing noted, however, that Democrats did not always agree with each other, either. Jeffries notably voted against the bipartisan compromise that Schumer struck with President Donald Trump last week to reopen the federal government after the left rejected the initial deal.
“It sounds like they’re not always speaking amongst themselves, so I don’t even know how to categorize good faith, because it seems like they don’t have good faith amongst the two chambers there,” Downing said.
Democrats, meanwhile, have accused Trump of empowering ICE to abuse the law in Minneapolis, where federal agents’ killing of two U.S. citizens during demonstrations against Trump’s immigration crackdown has led to sky-high tensions.
Since the press conference, they’ve also released a list of six additional demands before they agree to a full DHS funding deal.
“Federal immigration agents cannot continue to cause chaos in our cities while using taxpayer money that should be used to make life more affordable for working families. The American people rightfully expect their elected representatives to take action to rein in ICE and ensure no more lives are lost,” Jeffries and Schumer wrote in a letter accompanying those demands.
