华盛顿 — 周五，参议院再次未能推进为国土安全部（DHS）拨款的法案，导致政府停摆进一步延长，全美航空旅行陷入混乱。
投票结果以47票对37票未能达到推进所需的60票门槛。另有16名参议员未参与投票。宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼（John Fetterman）与共和党人投了相同立场的票。
此次投票标志着自2月12日以来参议院第五次尝试推进一项已由众议院通过的法案，该法案将为国土安全部拨款至9月。自2月14日起，国土安全部已处于停摆状态。民主党坚持要求改革移民执法做法，以全面重启该部门。
周四，两党参议员小组与边境事务负责人汤姆·霍曼（Tom Homan）举行了会面，阿拉巴马州共和党参议员凯蒂·布里特（Katie Britt）称这是六周来双方首次会面。布里特会后表示：“今天不是谈判，只是交流。”
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（John Thune）表示，周五晚些时候预计将再次与霍曼举行会面。
“这种情况不能再持续下去了，”这位南达科他州共和党人对记者说，并补充称双方“现在都有机会认真对待此事”。
“我认为我们今天会弄清楚双方是否真的认真了，”图恩说道。
本周早些时候，参议院民主党向白宫提交了最新反建议。周二，白宫在致参与拨款讨论的共和党参议员的一封信中表示，此前的反建议中已向民主党提出若干提议，包括扩大使用随身摄像头、限制在学校和医院的民事移民执法活动，并要求官员佩戴明显标识。但民主党驳回了该提议，称白宫在口罩和搜查令问题上拒不让步。
纽约州民主党参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）周五表示，移民执法方面的谈判“仍有很长的路要走”，双方存在“严重分歧”。
停摆的影响在全美机场最为明显。旅客面临长时间排队，未获报酬的运输安全管理局（TSA）人员纷纷辞职或罢工。一名TSA官员本周警告称，如果情况不尽快解决，部分机场可能需要关闭。
共和党人阻挠了民主党多次尝试为国土安全部伞下其他机构（移民和海关执法局及海关和边境保护局除外）提供资金的努力。与此同时，民主党也阻挠了共和党为国土安全部全部机构批准临时拨款的尝试。
舒默表示，立法者周六将有另一次机会为TSA拨款，届时预计将就单独为该机构拨款的法案进行程序性投票。
“TSA的混乱已到临界点，我们需要尽快重启它，”舒默在周五的全体会议演讲中表示。

Senate fails to advance DHS funding bill for 5th time, with no deal in sight
March 20, 2026 / 3:51 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — The Senate on Friday again failed to move forward with legislation to fund the Department of Homeland Security, extending the shutdown that has snarled air travel around the country.
In a 47 to 37 vote, the legislation failed to reach the 60-vote threshold it needed to advance. Sixteen senators did not vote. Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voted with Republicans.
Friday’s vote marks the fifth time since Feb. 12 that the Senate has attempted to advance a House-passed bill that would fund the department through September. DHS has been shut down since Feb. 14. Democrats are insisting on reforms to immigration enforcement practices to fully reopen the department.
A bipartisan group of senators met with border czar Tom Homan on Thursday, in what Republican Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama said was the first time both sides have met in six weeks. Leaving the meeting, Britt said “today was not negotiation, it was conversation.”
Another meeting with Homan was expected later Friday, according to Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
“This can’t continue,” the South Dakota Republican told reporters, adding that both sides “have now had an opportunity to kind of sharpen their pencils.”
“I think we’re going to know today whether we’re actually serious about it,” Thune said.
Earlier this week, Senate Democrats sent the White House their latest counteroffer. In a letter Tuesday to Republican senators involved in funding discussions, the White House said it had made several proposals to Democrats in its previous counteroffer. The offer included expanded use of body cameras, limiting civil immigration enforcement activities at schools and hospitals and requiring officers to wear visible identification. But Democrats have dismissed the offer, saying the White House has refused to budge on masks and warrants.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said Friday that negotiations on immigration enforcement “still have a way to go,” citing “deep disagreements.”
The effects of the shutdown have been most apparent at airports across the U.S. Travelers are facing long lines, with unpaid Transportation Security Administration officers calling off work or quitting altogether. One TSA official warned this week that some airports might need to be shut down if the situation is not resolved soon.
Republicans have blocked Democrats’ repeated attempts to pass funding for other agencies under the DHS umbrella, except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. Meanwhile, Democrats have shut down efforts by Republicans to approve temporary funding for all of DHS.
Schumer said that lawmakers would have another chance to fund TSA on Saturday, when a procedural vote on legislation funding the individual agency is expected.
“The chaos at TSA is reaching a boiling point. We need to reopen it as quickly as possible,” Schumer said in a floor speech Friday.
