宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼(John Fetterman)是唯一一位加入共和党支持国土安全部(DHS)资金法案的参议院民主党人，他指责同事们在停摆投票中选择了政党而非国家。
周四，参议院民主党人坚决反对为该机构提供资金，他们追求对移民和海关执法局(ICE)的严格改革，此前明尼苏达州移民行动中发生了亚历克斯·普雷蒂(Alex Pretti)和蕾妮·妮可·古德(Renee Nicole Good)被枪杀的致命事件。
但费特曼认为，纽约州民主党参议员少数党领袖查克·舒默(Chuck Schumer)和他的政党没有抓住重点。

“这次停摆对ICE的运作功能实际上没有任何影响，”费特曼在X平台上发帖称。“国家高于政党，这意味着不能让整个国土安全部陷入停摆。民主需要在不损害我们关键国家安全机构的情况下找到改革ICE的前进道路。”
参议院民主党本周拒绝为国土安全部提供资金，导致部分政府停摆不可避免，受影响范围仅限于国土安全部。周五午夜是达成协议的最后期限，而在此之前达成协议的可能性几乎为零。
这是因为周四参众两院议员迅速离开华盛顿特区，其中许多人甚至前往德国慕尼黑安全会议。

舒默和他的党团认为，白宫和共和党人对改革ICE或海关和边境保护局(CBP)并不认真，并声称共和党针对他们提出的要求清单的反建议不足以获得他们的支持。
但正如费特曼所说，停摆国土安全部不会停止向移民行动的资金流动。

这是因为国会共和党人去年与唐纳德·特朗普总统的标志性“大而美丽法案”一起，向该机构注入了约750亿美元用于ICE。这笔资金将在未来四年内分摊，这意味着现在的停摆对ICE的核心职能几乎不会产生影响，甚至毫无影响。

但国土安全部管辖下的其他职能，如TSA、FEMA、海岸警卫队等，将成为部分停摆的最大受害者。

预计谈判将在幕后继续进行，参议院民主党人已表示他们正在考虑对白宫提出反建议，以回应共和党人的提议。
不过，重新开放并为该机构提供资金的投票最早要到下周初才会进行。

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., the lone Senate Democrat to join the GOP to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), accused his colleagues of choosing party over country in their shutdown vote.
Senate Democrats dug their heels in against funding the agency on Thursday in their pursuit of stringent reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), following the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good during immigration operations in Minnesota.
But Fetterman believed that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his party were missing the point.

“This shutdown literally has zero impact on ICE functionality,” Fetterman said in a post on X. “Country over party is refusing to hit the entire Department of Homeland Security. Democracy demands a way forward to reform ICE without damaging our critical national security agencies.”
Senate Democrats’ refusal to fund DHS this week has made a partial government shutdown affecting only DHS inevitable. The deadline to strike a deal is midnight Friday, and the likelihood of that happening is nearly nonexistent.
That’s because both chambers of Congress quickly fled Washington, D.C., on Thursday, with many in the upper chamber leaving the country altogether for the Munich Security Conference in Germany.

Schumer and his caucus argued that the White House and Republicans weren’t serious about reforms to ICE or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and contended that the GOP’s counteroffer to their own list of demands didn’t go far enough to earn their votes.
But to Fetterman’s point, shutting down DHS won’t halt the cash flow to immigration operations.

That’s because congressional Republicans last year injected roughly $75 billion into the agency for ICE with President Donald Trump’s marquee “big, beautiful bill.” That money is spread across the next four years, meaning that a shutdown now will have little, if any, effect on ICE’s core functions.

But other functions under DHS’ purview, like TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and more, will experience the brunt of the partial shutdown.

Negotiations on striking a deal are expected to continue in the background, and Senate Democrats have signaled that they’re considering offering a counteroffer to the White House in response to the GOP proposal.
Still, a vote to reopen and fund the agency won’t happen until early next week at best.
