在接受福克斯新闻数字频道独家采访时,国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆讨论了她对降低移民和海关执法局(ICE)行动强度的看法,当时美国各地城市持续出现动荡,以及国土安全部资金可能引发的另一场政府停摆。

参议院民主党坚持要求限制移民和海关执法局(ICE)的权力,但参议院共和党人认为他们另有动机:彻底削减全国移民行动的资金。

“我真的担心民主党人只想削减ICE的资金,”佛罗里达州共和党参议员里克·斯科特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,”他们想要开放边境,不想打击罪犯。”

共和党人指出,上周参议院推进一项特朗普支持的资金协议时,这一”危险信号”就已显现。

佛蒙特州独立参议员伯尼·桑德斯试图通过一项修正案,削减国土安全部(DHS)和ICE的750亿美元资金,该修正案在参议院投票中被迅速否决。

“每一位参议院民主党人都投了赞成票,”怀俄明州共和党参议院多数党党鞭约翰·巴雷索表示,”这就是激进民主党人的真实面目。参议院正确否决了这项修正案。桑德斯修正案暴露了民主党人的开放边境目标。”

这笔资金来自总统唐纳德·特朗普的标志性”宏伟法案”,该法案向国土安全部投入数十亿美元用于移民行动,确保该机构在未来三到四个财政年度内资金充裕,无论国会民主党人是否希望削减其资金。

阿拉巴马州共和党参议员凯蒂·布里特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,”宏伟法案”中的资金不会被挪用。布里特正在领导参议院共和党人就此事进行谈判。

“这不是可以谈判的内容,”布里特说。

“就像上一次停摆时一样,他们再次试图通过政治姿态或政治问题获胜,这将把美国民众置于危险之中,后果更糟,”她继续说道,”所以,我计划本着诚意参与谈判,当然也希望他们能这样做。”

随着本周进展,一些参议院共和党人认为,民主党人的全部目的就是削弱ICE。

当被问及是否认为民主党人的最终目标是完全削减移民执法行动资金时,阿拉巴马州共和党参议员汤米·图伯维尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,”百分之百是这样。”

“我们绝不可能给ICE戴上枷锁来限制他们的行动,”图伯维尔表示。

参议院民主党人反驳了他们试图削弱该机构的说法,称由于”宏伟法案”已经确定了资金,他们实际上几乎无法削减移民行动资金。

“我想要问责,”新泽西州民主党参议员安迪·金告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,”我要确保有监督机制。但现在,我看到的是无法无天,以及一些本应让我们所有人警惕的行为和举动,这才是我们想要解决的根本问题。”

“这不是什么游戏,”他继续说道。

国会民主党人围绕10项要求形成统一阵线,终于在周三深夜公布了他们的提案,其中包括几项共和党人已拒绝的政策,如解除ICE特工的面罩和要求司法令状。

参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩对新提案表示不满,称”里面全是些行不通的内容”。

“他们很清楚这一点。也许他们不得不把这些内容放进去,以取悦MoveOn.org或其他左翼特殊利益集团,”图恩表示,”但实际上,其中一些内容可能还有协商的空间,但显然很多内容都不严肃。”

考虑到周四是国会最后一个工作日,目前的国土安全部持续决议(CR)还有8天到期,共和党人也在考虑转向另一项短期资金补丁方案。

但民主党人并不愿意支持另一项延期——参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默警告图恩和共和党人”不应指望我们的投票”。

他还驳斥了共和党人的抱怨,称除非共和党人表明他们想要什么作为回报,否则谈判不会取得进展。

“他们必须振作起来,”舒默说,”我们花了三天时间认真制定了一个全面、合理的计划,这是全国警察部门都在使用的方案。他们在哪里?”

Republicans warn Democrats’ ICE reform push is cover to defund border enforcement

Britt says billions from Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ are ‘not up for negotiation’ as DHS shutdown deadline approaches

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem discussed her view on de-escalating ICE operations as unrest continues in cities across the U.S. and another potential government shutdown over DHS funding.

Senate Democrats are standing firm by their demands to rein in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but Senate Republicans believe they have an ulterior motive: completely defund immigration operations across the country.

“I’m really concerned that all the Democrats want to do is defund ICE,” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital, “They want open borders. They don’t want to get rid of criminals.”

Republicans argue the canary in the coal mine came last week when the Senate was advancing a Trump-backed funding deal.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., attempted to pass an amendment that would have stripped the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE of $75 billion, which was summarily defeated on the floor.

“Every single Senate Democrat voted yes,” Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said. “That’s how radical Democrats have become. The Senate rightly rejected this amendment. The Sanders Amendment exposes Democrats’ open borders goals.”

That money came from President Donald Trump’s marquee “big, beautiful bill,” which shoveled billions to DHS for immigration operations, ensuring the agency is flush with cash for the next three to four fiscal years, regardless of congressional Democrats’ desires to defund it.

Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., told Fox News Digital that the money from the “big, beautiful bill,” wasn’t going anywhere. Britt is leading talks for Senate Republicans over the issue.

“That’s not up for negotiation,” Britt said.

“Once again, just like they did in the last shutdown, they would be putting the American people in jeopardy and at a worse place as a result of trying to win on a political posturing or political issue,” she continued. “So look, I plan on going into this with good-faith intentions, and I certainly hope that they will as well.”

As the week has gone on, some Senate Republicans believed that all their counterparts wanted to do was gut ICE.

When asked if he believed that Democrats’ end goal was to completely defund immigration enforcement operations, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., told Fox News Digital, “100%.”

“There’s no way we’re going to put handcuffs on ICE to limit what they can do,” Tuberville said.

Senate Democrats pushed back against the assertion that they wanted to gut the agency, arguing that because of the funding already established by the “big, beautiful bill,” there was little they could actually do to defund immigration operations.

“I want accountability,” Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., told Fox News Digital. “I want to make sure that there’s oversight. But right now, what I’m seeing is lawlessness and some of the actions and behaviors that should be alarming to all of us, and you know, that’s the underlying factor that we want to address.”

“It’s not about some game,” he continued.

Congressional Democrats coalesced around a list of 10 demands, finally unveiling their proposal late Wednesday night. It included several policies Republicans have already spurned, like de-masking ICE agents and requiring judicial warrants.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., balked at the new proposal, and said that “there’s just a bunch of stuff in there that’s a nonstarter.”

“They know that. Now maybe they had to put it in there to satisfy MoveOn.org, or some other special left-wing special interest groups,” Thune said. “But there are a few things that actually there’s probably some room to move on there to negotiate on, but a lot of that stuff, obviously just wasn’t serious.”

Republicans are also mulling turning to another short-term funding patch, given that as of Thursday, their last day in session, they had just eight days left on the clock before the current continuing resolution (CR) for DHS ran out.

But Democrats aren’t keen on supporting another extension — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., warned that Thune and Republicans “shouldn’t count on our votes.”

He also pushed back against grumbling Republicans, arguing that negotiations wouldn’t move along unless Republicans revealed what they wanted in return.

“They have to get their act together,” he said. “We spent three days diligently, seriously coming up with a comprehensive, commonsense plan that police departments throughout the country use. Where are they?”
