周五,特朗普总统下令国土安全部设法为该机构“每一名雇员”发放薪资。由于国会陷入僵局,国土安全部已停摆近两个月,数千名雇员因此无法领到薪水。

总统的备忘录指示国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林和行政管理和预算局局长拉塞尔·沃特“使用与国土安全部职能有合理且逻辑关联的资金”。备忘录未列出国土安全计划动用的具体资金来源,也未说明调动这些资金的明确法律依据。

“为确保美国不会面临安全威胁、并保持应对突发事件的战备状态,这种对国土安全部雇员的冷漠待遇必须终止,”他在备忘录中写道,并将停摆归咎于民主党人。“作为美国总统,我认定当前情况构成危及国家安全的紧急状态。”

特朗普周四就提前透露了这一举措,他在社交媒体上写道,将“很快签署一项命令,为国土安全部所有出色的雇员发放薪资”。

该备忘录估算,超过3.5万名国土安全部雇员尚未领到薪资,其中包括海岸警卫队文职人员,以及联邦紧急事务管理局和网络安全与基础设施安全局的工作人员。

此前特朗普政府曾尝试调配资金,让部分国土安全部雇员领到了薪资,其中包括特勤局特工和现役海岸警卫队人员。

两家移民相关机构——移民及海关执法局(ICE)和海关与边境保护局(CBP)的雇员,是通过去年通过的《宏大美好法案》获得薪资的。上周,由于 TSA 雇员缺勤导致机场排队数小时,特朗普下令通过类似方式为运输安全管理局(TSA)官员发放薪资。

自2月中旬以来,由于移民执法政策的争议,国土安全部一直处于停摆状态。今年早些时候,两名美国人在明尼阿波利斯被移民特工枪杀后,国会民主党人反对在不进行政策改革的情况下为ICE和CBP提供拨款,但两党始终未能就改革方案达成一致。

过去一周出现了推进解决方案的迹象,参议院民主党人和共和党人通过了一项法案,为国土安全部的大部分职能提供资金,同时将ICE和部分CBP的拨款单独划出,使该机构的大部分部门得以重新开放。

众议院共和党人最初否决了该计划,但本周早些时候,参众两院的共和党领导层表示,计划通过该途径为国土安全部的大部分职能提供拨款。随后,他们计划通过参议院的和解程序为国土安全部的剩余部门——ICE和CBP——提供资金,该程序允许拨款法案仅以简单多数票通过,无需民主党支持。

众议院尚未就参议院为国土安全部大部分职能提供拨款的法案采取行动。

Trump orders DHS to pay all employees despite shutdown

President Trump on Friday ordered the Department of Homeland Security to find a way to pay “each and every employee” of the agency, which has faced an almost two-month-long shutdown due to a congressional impasse, leaving thousands without paychecks.

The president’s memo directs DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought to “use funds that have a reasonable and logical nexus to the functions of DHS.” It does not list out the specific funding sources that DHS plans to tap, or the exact legal justification for moving those funds around.

“This callous treatment of DHS employees must end in order to ensure that America is not susceptible to security threats and maintains readiness to respond to emergencies,” he wrote, blaming Democrats for the shutdown. “As President of the United States, I have determined that these circumstances constitute an emergency situation compromising the Nation’s security.”

Mr. Trump previewed the move on Thursday, writing on social media that he will “soon sign an order to pay ALL of the incredible employees at the Department of Homeland Security.”

The memo estimates that over 35,000 DHS employees haven’t been paid, including civilian Coast Guard employees and staff at the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Cybersecurity and Information Security Agency.

Other DHS staff have received paychecks as the Trump administration has attempted to move money around, including Secret Service agents and active-duty Coast Guard personnel.

Employees of two immigration-focused agencies — Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection — have been paid through funding in last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Last week, Mr. Trump directed Transportation Security Administration officers to be paid through similar means, after absences by TSA officers led to hourslong airport lines.

DHS has been shut down since mid-February due to a dispute over immigration enforcement policy. Following the deadly shooting of two Americans by immigration agents in Minneapolis earlier this year, congressional Democrats have opposed funding ICE and CBP without policy changes, but the two parties have been unable to reach an agreement on reforms.

A path forward has emerged over the last week, after Senate Democrats and Republicans approved a bill to fund the bulk of DHS while carving out ICE and parts of CBP, allowing most of the agency to reopen.

House Republicans initially rejected that plan, but earlier this week, GOP leadership in both chambers indicated they plan to pass most DHS funding through that route. Then, they plan to fund the rest of DHS — ICE and CBP — through the Senate’s reconciliation process, which allows spending bills to be passed with a simple majority without Democratic support.

The House has not yet taken action on the Senate’s bill to fund most of DHS.

Congress may be taking steps to end shutdown
