这一情况发生在周三，前南达科他州国会议员兼州长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）被解除其职位后几分钟。诺姆曾在唐纳德·特朗普总统第二任期内领导国土安全部。
该机构已关闭近三周，而民主党最新一次否决全年拨款法案，可能确保关闭状态将延长至第四周。

纽约州民主党参议员、参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）及其党团仍坚持立场，除非白宫接受他们提出的对移民和海关执法局(ICE)的改革清单，否则他们不会配合。

“对他们来说，解决所有这些资金问题非常简单——只需同意我们关于ICE和边境巡逻队的常识性提议，”舒默在投票前表示。“这些都是提议。我们所要求的，就像任何警察部门在谈判中所做的那样。尽管我们仍然分歧很大，但我们仍在进行谈判并来回交换文件。”
投票前一刻，特朗普宣布将提名俄克拉荷马州参议员马克韦恩·穆林（Markwayne Mullin）接替诺姆，担任新的国土安全部负责人。此前有报道称，特朗普对诺姆本周在两院司法委员会听证会上的表现“极为愤怒”。

与此同时，特朗普的“史诗级愤怒行动”（Operation Epic Fury）在上议院成为焦点，周三民主党推动限制他在中东的战争权力的努力遭遇了共和党人的强烈抵制。
随着打击行动持续，参议院共和党人呼吁资助该机构，因为对美国本土报复的担忧加剧。

“我不会投票资助ICE并让他们拘留、虐待、枪杀或杀害更多美国公民，仅仅因为唐纳德·特朗普发动了一场无人要求的违宪战争，”华盛顿州民主党参议员帕蒂·默里（Patty Murray）表示。
众议院预计当天晚些时候将对略有修改的国土安全部拨款法案进行投票，预计将在众议院通过。但即便如此，考虑到当前政治僵局，该法案在参议院可能仍无法通过。

双方最后一次公开提出的方案是在上周五，当时白宫向国会民主党人发送了一份官员称之为“严肃”的反提案。尽管一周的沉默后似乎取得了一些进展，但舒默和民主党人仍然不满意。
感到沮丧的参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩指出，民主党人“拒绝”了阿拉巴马州共和党参议员凯蒂·布里特（Katie Britt），而他指定布里特作为共和党在谈判中的主要联络人，但对方多次尝试联系民主党同行均遭拒绝。
他还指责，忽视布里特和共和党人的决定似乎来自舒默。

“我想说，除了不参与，他们完全拒绝任何坐下来实际讨论问题的机会，”图恩表示。“而且这似乎来自最高层。”

“我认为他们觉得这对他们来说（政治上）是有利的，但这是他们采取的姿态，而且越来越明显——这就是完全不愿意尝试解决这个问题或为部门拨款，”他继续说道。“总有一天，会发生一些糟糕的事情。”

Senate Democrats again blocked Republicans’ attempt to reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as background negotiations appear to have fizzled out.
It came just minutes after Kristi Noem, the former South Dakota congresswoman and governor who led President Donald Trump’s DHS in his second term, was ousted from her position on Wednesday.
The agency has been shuttered for nearly three weeks, and Democrats’ latest rejection of a full-year funding bill likely ensures that the closure extends into a fourth week.

“It’s very easy for them to get all of this funded — simply agree to our common-sense proposals on ICE and Border Patrol,” Schumer said before the vote. “These are proposals. What we’ve asked for is what every police force does in terms of our negotiations. Look, we’re still far apart, but we’re still negotiating and exchanging paper back and forth.”
The vote came moments after Trump announced he would nominate Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to replace Noem as the new DHS chief, following reports that Trump was “furious” with her performance in bicameral Judiciary Committee hearings this week.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Operation Epic Fury has taken center stage in the upper chamber, with a Democratic push to rein in his war authorities in the Middle East hitting a red wall of Republican resistance on Wednesday.
And as the strikes continue, it has spurred calls from Senate Republicans to fund the agency as concerns over retaliation on American soil increase.

“Look, I’m not going to vote to fund Ice and let them detain, brutalize, shoot, or kill more American citizens just because Donald Trump started an unconstitutional war that no one asked for,” Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said.
The House is expected to vote on a slightly modified version of the DHS funding bill later in the day, which is expected to pass in the lower chamber. Even if it does, given the current political standoff, it would likely go nowhere in the Senate.

The last offer made public by either side came last Friday, when the White House sent congressional Democrats what officials called a “serious” counter-proposal. While it appeared that progress was being made after a week of silence, Schumer and Democrats still weren’t satisfied.
A frustrated Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., noted that Democrats had “rebuffed” Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., whom he anointed to run point for the GOP in negotiations, after repeated attempts to reach out to their counterparts.
He also charged that it appeared the decision to ignore Britt and Republicans was coming from Schumer.

“I would say, beyond not engaging, they are just flat rejecting any chance to sit down and actually talk about it,” Thune said. “And that seems to be coming from the top.”

“I think they see this as [politically advantageous] to them, but this is a posture they’ve adopted which has become increasingly clear — it is just a flat-out unwillingness to try and solve this problem or fund the department,” he continued. “At some point, something bad is going to happen.”
