视频：特朗普称若民主党不签署国土安全部资金协议，将派遣移民与海关执法局特工前往机场
唐纳德·特朗普总统威胁称，如果民主党不签署一项国土安全部协议，他将派遣美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工开展机场安全工作。

随着国土安全部停摆持续，参议院共和党人阻止了参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默提出的仅向运输安全管理局（TSA）员工支付工资的尝试。
尽管处于少数党地位且无法控制参议院议程，舒默仍使用了一种晦涩的策略来推动程序性投票，试图让参议院能够审议民主党提出的法案，以转移关于正在进行的国土安全部（DHS）停摆的叙事。
舒默在参议院发言时表示：”让工人、旅客和整个机场成为政治博弈人质是不可接受的。但共和党人正在这么做。说我们只在附带资助ICE且无改革的法案下才支付TSA员工工资，这是不可接受的，但共和党人一直这么做。”

周六停摆进入第36天，持续的部分政府关闭正朝着与去年创纪录的全面政府停摆时间接近的方向发展。舒默的策略失败之际，机场等待时间不断延长，数千名TSA特工无薪工作。
参议院民主党人坚决要求对移民与海关执法局（ICE）进行严格改革，迄今为止，除非获得所需条件，否则拒绝重新开放该机构或临时延长资金以结束停摆。
周五晚上，在本周早些时候公布政府关于移民行动改革的公开信后，参议院共和党人和白宫向民主党提出了新的妥协方案。这封信促使国会山举行了两场连续会议，涉及共和党人、民主党人和政府官员。

他们是否接受该提议或提出反建议目前尚不清楚。参加会议的阿拉巴马州共和党参议员凯蒂·布里特表示，希望很快会有新的会议。
布里特说：”这取决于他们，但我希望如此。”
尽管如此，共和党人周五第五次尝试全面重新开放该机构仍未成功。与此同时，参议院民主党人多次试图推进独立资金法案——如舒默的策略——以开放国土安全部的部分职能，但不涉及移民执法。
国土安全部停摆并列历史第二长，民主党再次阻止资金注入，机场混乱与反恐担忧加剧

由于立法者计划下周末结束后离开华盛顿特区进行为期两周的休会，他们就重新开放该机构达成折中方案的时间也所剩无几。
周六早些时候的新闻发布会上，南达科他州共和党参议员、参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：”如果我们下周离开华盛顿却未资助国土安全部，那将’非常非常难以解释’。”
图恩表示：”在某个时刻，[民主党人]将为此承担责任。”
他继续说道：”我知道他们认为，正如其一位领导人所描述的，他们的立场’非常平静、非常平静’。但我要告诉大家，现在正在机场排队的民众不会觉得这很平静。这一问题需要解决。”

Schumer accused Republicans of holding ‘workers and travelers and entire airports’ hostage

President Donald Trump threatened to send ICE agents to conduct airport security if Democrats don’t sign a Homeland Security deal.

Senate Republicans blocked an attempt by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to only pay Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers as the Homeland Security shutdown drags on.
Despite being in the minority and not controlling the Senate floor, Schumer used an arcane tactic to force a procedural vote to allow the Senate to get onto the bill in Democrats’ move to shift the narrative of the ongoing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown.
“It is unacceptable for workers and travelers and entire airports to get taken hostage in political games,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “But that’s what the Republicans are doing. It is unacceptable to say we will only pay TSA workers if it is attached to a bill that funds ICE with no reforms, but that’s what the Republicans have been doing.”

The shutdown entered its 36th day on Saturday as the ongoing partial closure hurtles toward matching the record-breaking full government shutdown from last year. Schumer’s failed gambit follows increasingly long wait times at airports as thousands of TSA agents go without pay.
Senate Democrats have dug in deep in their demands for stringent reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and have so far refused to reopen the agency or temporarily extend funding to end the closure until they get what they want.
Senate Republicans and the White House made a new compromise offer to Democrats on Friday night after an open letter from the administration on several reforms to immigration operations was revealed earlier this week. The letter spurred two back-to-back meetings on Capitol Hill with Republicans, Democrats and administration officials.

Whether they accept that offer or counter remains in the air for now. Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., who was in the meeting, said that she hoped there would be another soon.
“That will be up to them, but I hope so,” Britt said.

Still, Republicans tried and failed for a fifth time to fully reopen the agency on Friday. In the background, there have been several attempts by Senate Democrats to move forward with standalone funding bills — like Schumer’s gambit — to open parts of DHS, save for immigration enforcement.

Time is also running out for lawmakers to find middle ground on reopening the agency, given that they are set to leave Washington, D.C., for a two-week break at the end of next week.
At a press conference earlier Saturday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told Fox News Digital that it’d be “very, very hard to explain if we leave town this next week without having funded the Department of Homeland Security.”

“At some point [the Democrats] are going to be held accountable for this,” Thune said.
“I know they think it’s, as has been described by one of their leaders, ‘very serene, very serene’ with their position,” he continued. “Well, I’m telling you something, the people who are sitting in those lines at the airports right now don’t see it as very serene. This needs to be resolved.”
