据福克斯新闻数字频道获取的白宫官员信件显示，政府列出了五项关键让步内容，以回应国会民主党人持续阻挠国土安全部（DHS）拨款，试图推动移民行动的严格改革。
这是资金僵局严密面纱后的首次披露，此前国会民主党人在周一深夜再次向白宫提出反建议，打破了僵局，但政府在停摆进入第32天时对此表示反对。

“民主党再次以反建议回应，这表明他们并未展现出此刻所需的严肃性，”一位白宫高级官员表示。
参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默反驳称，白宫同样没有认真谈判。
“问题在于，他们没有认真对待，”舒默说。”当他们突击搜查民宅时的搜查令问题、警察身份和不戴口罩的问题，这些关键问题上，他们丝毫没有让步。”
这封信发送给缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯和阿拉巴马州共和党参议员凯蒂·布里特，其中包含了对舒默和民主党人多项优先要求的妥协，但值得注意的是，这些妥协中没有要求特工获得司法令状，也没有要求特工不戴口罩。
“行政令的使用是长期以来的惯例，最终这将成为未来讨论的话题，但政府不愿意回到拜登时期开放边境的现状，”该官员表示。

尽管如此，这封信确实满足了民主党人的多项诉求，包括扩大国土安全部特工佩戴随身摄像机的使用范围（卧底行动除外），并计划保留录像以供国会更多监督。
特朗普政府还提出限制在敏感场所（包括医院和学校）的移民执法，国家安全、飞行风险和公共安全方面除外。政府还计划接受国会对国土安全部拘留设施的监督，并承诺强制国土安全部特工使用可见身份标识。
另一项妥协是确保不驱逐任何美国公民，并计划编纂法律，规定”不得故意拘留美国公民，除非该公民违反州或联邦法律而被逮捕”。
民主党人的反建议几乎没有打动共和党人。
参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩称，白宫的妥协”超出了预期”，并指出政府已提出将随身摄像机支出提高到1亿美元，并”纳入监察长的审计，以及对不遵守行为的审查”。

“我的意思是，里面有很多东西，在我看来，都是政府做出的重大让步，但民主党似乎有意延长这个政治问题，”图恩说。

布里特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，她相信”我的许多民主党同事也希望找到结束停摆的方法”，并指出在43天的停摆期间，一直都在进行谈判。
“我的意思是，我们早就该这样做了，所以我会继续推动，”她说。”但你是否意识到，到目前为止已经过了多少天——我们还没有坐下来讨论这个问题——这简直是疯了。”

The White House is digging in against congressional Democrats, revealing several compromises the administration has been willing to make on immigration enforcement to end the government shutdown.
In a letter from a White House official obtained by Fox News Digital, the administration laid out five key concessions to congressional Democrats who have continued to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in a bid to get stringent reforms to immigration operations.
It’s the first peek behind the closely guarded veil of the funding stalemate and comes after congressional Democrats broke the ice with yet another counteroffer to the White House late Monday night, which the administration balked at as the shutdown entered its 32nd day.

“The Democrats have once again responded with a counteroffer that does not indicate the seriousness that this moment needs,” a senior White House official said.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., countered that the White House wasn’t negotiating seriously, either.
“The issue is, they’re not getting serious,” Schumer said. “The key issues of warrants when you bust into someone’s house, the key issue of identity of police and no masks, they haven’t budged on those.”
The letter, sent to Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Katie Britt, R-Ala., included compromises on several demands that have been a top priority for Schumer and Democrats but notably lacked requirements for agents to obtain judicial warrants and demands that agents go maskless.
“The use of administrative warrants is a long-standing practice for administrations, and ultimately that will be a subject of future conversations, but the administration is unwilling to return to the Biden status quo of open borders,” the official said.
DEM SENATORS CALL TO FUND DHS AFTER VOTING TO BLOCK IT 4 TIMES AMID SHUTDOWN FIGHT

Still, the letter did check off several asks for Democrats, including expanding the use of body-worn cameras for DHS agents, save for agents in undercover operations, coupled with plans to hold onto the footage to allow for more congressional oversight.
The Trump administration also offered to limit immigration enforcement at sensitive locations, including hospitals and schools, with exceptions to national security, flight risks and public safety. The administration also plans to adhere to congressional oversight of DHS detention facilities and vowed to enforce the use of visible identification for DHS agents.
Another compromise was to ensure that any U.S. citizens are not deported and plans to codify not “knowingly detaining a U.S. citizen, except when the person violates a state or federal law that makes the citizen subject to arrest.”
Democrats’ counter did little to move the needle for Republicans.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., characterized the White House’s compromises as going “above and beyond” and noted the administration had made offers to raise spending on body-worn cameras to $100 million and “include audits by the Inspector General, you know, and reviews for non-compliance.”

“I mean, there’s a whole bunch of stuff in there that they’re just things that, in my view, have been significant gives on the part of the White House, but the Democrats seem intent on dragging out this political issue,” Thune said.

And Britt, who Thune tapped to lead negotiations on behalf of the GOP, said she was still trying to get Democrats in a room to negotiate.

Britt told Fox News Digital she believed “there are many of my [Democratic colleagues” that wanted to find a way out of the shutdown, too, and noted that during the 43-day shutdown there had been talks happening the whole time.
“I mean, it’s past time for us to do that, and so I’m going to keep pushing it,” she said. “But do you realize that, how many days into this — and we have yet to sit down and talk about it — I mean it’s actual insanity.”
