除非参议院在周四某个时间点强行通过短期延长当前资金水平的法案,否则影响国土安全部(DHS)的部分政府停摆几乎已成定局。

但避免国土安全部停摆意味着同一法案也必须在众议院通过,而众议院的成功取决于议长迈克·约翰逊(R-La.)的精妙政治操作,他需要说服意见不一的众议院共和党会议,使其就前进道路达成共识。

“我认为这必须是60天或90天,”南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员、保守派众议院自由党团成员拉尔夫·诺曼(R-S.C.)表示,”我不知道30天后会发生什么,也不知道会有什么变化。”

南达科他州共和党参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(R-S.D.)预计将公布一项针对国土安全部的临时资金法案,即继续决议案(CR),该法案将在未知期限内延长该部门当前的预算。

此前,民主党因认为针对明尼阿波利斯等地负责唐纳德·特朗普总统移民打击行动的机构缺乏足够监督机制,集体退出了一项通过2026财年的两党国土安全部资金协议。

目前,国会已为2026财年资助了联邦政府97%的支出。但国土安全部是一个管辖范围广泛的庞大部门,包括美国海岸警卫队、特勤局、联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)和运输安全管理局(TSA)——如果发生停摆,所有这些机构都将面临不同程度的中断。

共和党人大多希望避免这种情况,但明确表示他们认为后果将完全由民主党承担。

保守派如诺曼支持延长继续决议案,称这将比最初的两党资金协议为移民与海关执法局(ICE)提供更高的资金水平,同时削弱民主党就这些机构监督机制进行谈判的筹码。

众议院自由党团主席、马里兰州共和党人安迪·哈里斯(R-Md.)上周告诉福克斯新闻数字版,他支持为国土安全部通过全年继续决议案,”以确保FEMA和TSA获得资金,停止这种闹剧。”

亚利桑那州共和党众议员伊莱·克兰(R-Ariz.)周三也表示:”我认为我们希望尽可能推迟,以避免机构持续的不确定性。”

“只要这件事悬而未决,比如说持续三四个月,民主党就会要求’一磅肉’来帮助通过任何法案。我认为这会削弱…移民执法的努力,”克兰告诉福克斯新闻数字版。

众议院拨款委员会主席、俄克拉荷马州共和党人汤姆·科尔(R-Okla.)本周早些时候告诉记者,他倾向于中期继续决议案而非更短的版本。

“如果我们只做两周,然后他们休会一周,实际上就变成了一周的继续决议案。这么多重要人物离开时,什么都不会发生。所以我认为四周更合理,”科尔表示。

但委员会成员、佛罗里达州共和党人约翰·卢瑟福(R-Fla.)完全反对继续决议案的想法。

“继续决议案行不通。继续决议案并非没有痛苦,它会扰乱你的供应链、采购和收购,”他告诉福克斯新闻数字版,”我不敢相信他们还在考虑这个。”

作为前警长,卢瑟福认为,在预计将举办美国250周年庆典、国际足联世界杯等众多高安全事件的一年里,停摆或继续决议案将损害关键的国家安全行动。

周二,约翰逊在被福克斯新闻数字版问及继续决议案长度时拒绝透露自己的想法,但强调众议院共和党人的立场是,参议院应考虑民主党最初退出的两党法案。

“我不会预先判断其长度或内容。我非常希望…我们还有时间。有志者事竟成。如果他们能就此事达成协议并完成,这将有利于整个国家,”约翰逊说。

众议院共和党领袖可能需要几乎所有共和党人的支持才能通过国土安全部继续决议案,而许多民主党人警告称,除非看到关键改革的证据,否则他们不会支持任何该部门的资金法案。

杰弗里斯在周一的每周新闻发布会上没有具体说明他会支持或反对哪些国土安全部资金条款,但他向记者暗示,没有任何变化的简单临时资金法案是不可能的。

“ICE目前失控了。美国人民清楚这一点,ICE显然需要受到约束,”杰弗里斯说,”我们的立场很明确。在国土安全部资金法案推进之前,必须对国土安全部进行重大改革。句号。彻底结束。”

DHS shutdown looms as Johnson navigates GOP divide over stopgap solutions

The deadline to avert a shutdown for DHS looms Friday night

A partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is all but guaranteed unless the Senate rams through a short-term extension of current funding levels sometime on Thursday.

But avoiding a DHS shutdown means the same measure must also pass the House of Representatives, where success will depend on delicate political maneuvering by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to persuade a House Republican Conference with varying ideas of what a path forward should look like.

“It would have to be for 60 or 90 days, I would think,” said Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus. “I don’t know what’s going to happen in 30 days, I don’t know what’s going to change.”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., is expected to unveil a stopgap funding measure for DHS called a continuing resolution (CR), which would extend the department’s current budget for a yet-unknown amount of time.

It comes after Democrats walked away en masse from a bipartisan deal to fund DHS through the end of fiscal year (FY) 2026 over what they saw as insufficient guardrails on agencies responsible for President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis and elsewhere.

Congress has funded 97% of the federal government through FY2026 at this point. But DHS is a vast department with a broad jurisdiction that includes the U.S. Coast Guard, the Secret Service, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) — all of which will see varying levels of disruptions if a shutdown happens.

Republicans largely want to avoid such a situation but have made clear they believe that its effects would fall squarely on Democrats’ shoulders.

Conservatives like Norman favor an extended CR, arguing that it would fund Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at a higher level than the initial bipartisan funding deal would have while removing Democrats’ negotiating leverage for more guardrails on those agents.

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., told Fox News Digital last week that he would support a full-year CR for DHS to “make sure that FEMA is funded and TSA is funded, and stop the drama.”

Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., similarly said on Wednesday, “I think we’d like to push it out as far as we can so we can avoid the constant uncertainty for the agency.”

“As long as this hangs up in the air, let’s say you do it for three, four months, the Democrats are gonna want a pound of flesh to help pass whatever it is. And I think that’s gonna weaken the efforts of … immigration enforcement,” Crane told Fox News Digital.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., told reporters earlier this week that he would favor a mid-length CR over something shorter.

“If we do two weeks and they leave for a week, it’s really a one-week CR. Nothing’s going to happen when that many important people are gone. So I think four weeks makes a lot more sense,” Cole said.

But committee member Rep. John Rutherford, R-Fla., panned the idea of a CR altogether.

“CRs don’t work. CRs are not without pain. It disrupts a lot of your supply chain and purchasing and acquisition,” he told Fox News Digital. “I can’t believe they’re even thinking about it.”

Rutherford, a former sheriff, argued that a shutdown or CR would harm critical national security operations during a year that’s expected to see a host of high-security events in the U.S. like America’s 250th anniversary celebration, the FIFA World Cup and others.

Johnson declined to share his thoughts on CR length when asked by Fox News Digital on Tuesday, but emphasized the House GOP’s position that the Senate should take up the bipartisan bill that Democrats initially walked away from.

“I’m not going to prejudge the length of it or what it should be. I’m very hopeful. I mean, we still have time on the clock. When there’s a will, there’s a way. And if they can come to an agreement on this and get it done, that will behoove the whole country,” Johnson said.

House GOP leaders will likely need nearly all Republicans on board to pass a CR for DHS, with many Democrats warning they will not support any funding for the department without seeing proof of critical reform.

Jeffries would not go into specifics about what he would support or oppose in terms of DHS funding during his weekly press conference on Monday, but he suggested to reporters that a simple stopgap funding bill with no changes to ICE funding was out of the question.

“ICE is out of control right now. The American people know it, and ICE clearly needs to be reined in,” Jeffries said. “Our position has been clear. Dramatic changes are needed at the Department of Homeland Security before a DHS funding bill moves forward. Period. Full stop.”
