国会共和党人在创纪录的国土安全部(DHS)停摆期间曾团结一致——75天过去后,他们在如何结束停摆问题上的分歧日益加剧。
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊(路易斯安那州共和党)此前已将参议院的国土安全部拨款法案搁置超过一个月,未提交众议院全院表决,如今他又提出修改该法案,该法案原本为该部门大部分机构提供资金。
提出新要求之际,恰逢美国特勤局周六挫败一起刺杀图谋,凸显了国土安全部至关重要的安全职责。特勤局人员阻止了一名枪手闯入宴会厅,该枪手据称计划刺杀唐纳德·特朗普总统及其内阁成员。
特勤局是隶属于国土安全部、目前未获得全年全额拨款的多个机构之一。此次刺杀恐吓事件尤其促使特朗普要求尽快完成国土安全部拨款及即将开展的预算协调程序。

与本党决裂的民主党议员称,在明尼阿波利斯移民海关执法局第二次枪击事件后,他对国土安全部拨款的投票是个“错误”
如今,约翰逊的新策略是修改参议院法案。他称该法案“起草仓促,存在一些有问题的条款”。
“我们拿出了一个修改版本,我认为这对两院都会好得多,”约翰逊周一对记者表示。
“这确保我们不会让国土安全部的两个主要机构陷入无人负责的境地,”他补充道,“我们必须确保移民法得到执行,边境安全稳固。民主党人不愿参与其中,因此不幸的是,我们只能靠自己完成这项工作。”
但白宫在福克斯新闻数字频道获取的一份致众议院共和党人的备忘录中,要求约翰逊原封不动通过参议院的法案,并警告称,除非众议院采取行动,剩余的国土安全部资金很快就会耗尽。
“国会必须立即为国土安全部及其关键行动提供资金,以保护国土,”备忘录中写道。
参议院法案和一项单独的为移民执法提供资金的预算协调法案,是国会共和党人为结束拨款停摆采取的双轨计划的一部分。
长期以来,约翰逊一直反映许多共和党人的观点,反对参议院法案,因为该法案取消了对移民海关执法局(ICE)和海关与边境保护局(CBP)的拨款。
但参议院共和党人对众议院同僚感到不满,后者一直搁置这项能重新开放国土安全部大部分机构的法案,同时又不断预告将对法案进行修改。除了微小的技术修正外,任何实质性修改都会将法案退回参议院进行协调。
特朗普尚未就参议院的部分国土安全部法案表态,但已敦促众议院迅速通过参议院通过的为移民执法提供资金的预算蓝图。

共和党内讧取代与民主党交锋,拖慢结束历史性国土安全部停摆的进程
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(南达科他州共和党)指出,自他与众议院议长发表联合声明支持参议院的拨款法案以来,已过去近30天。
“我想知道,替代方案是什么?当时我就是这么对他们说的,你们告诉我,给我一个更好的选择,因为我愿意听取意见,”图恩周二表示,“但我认为没人能拿出方案,而我们有大量机构得不到资金支持。”
国会民主党人谴责约翰逊搁置参议院法案,但共和党人指出,如果民主党人同意为该部门通过一项全年全额拨款法案,国会就不会陷入拨款僵局。
“约翰逊只需将参议院全票通过的法案提交表决,我们就能为除移民海关执法局和海关与边境保护局之外的所有国土安全部机构提供资金,之后我们可以再处理这两个部门的问题,”新墨西哥州民主党众议员特雷莎·莱杰·费尔南德斯周二对福克斯新闻表示。
“他未能这么做,这令人愤慨,国土安全部其余机构无法获得拨款,责任全在他,”她补充道。

与此同时,曾两次与共和党议员全票投票支持拨款协议的参议院民主党人,对约翰逊的真实意图感到困惑不解。

民主党人还暗示,可能会重现上月主导参议院的拨款对峙局面。
“他们就是陷入了僵局,所以才提出——我们需要做一些技术上的修改,”参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默(纽约州民主党)表示,“为了技术修改而搁置国家安全?这太荒谬了。”

Johnson scrambles as Trump, Senate Republicans pressure House to fund DHS

Senate Majority Leader Thune voiced frustration after month of House inaction on DHS bill

DHS secretary Mullin says his department will run out of money by the end of the month with emergency funds depleted

Congressional Republicans entered the record-breaking Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown united — 75 days later, and they are increasingly at odds over how to end it.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is now floating a change to the Senate’s DHS bill funding most of the department after declining to put the measure on the floor for more than a month.
The new demand comes as the department’s vital security role was spotlighted on Saturday when the Secret Service stopped a gunman from storming the ballroom where he allegedly planned to assassinate President Donald Trump and members of his Cabinet.
The Secret Service is among several agencies under the DHS umbrella that are currently operating without full-year funding. The assassination scare notably spurred Trump to demand that DHS funding, and the forthcoming budget reconciliation process, be wrapped up soon.

DEMOCRAT WHO BROKE WITH PARTY SAYS HIS DHS FUNDING VOTE A ‘MISTAKE’ AFTER 2ND MINNEAPOLIS ICE SHOOTING
Now, Johnson’s new tactic is to modify the Senate bill, which he claims “has some problematic language because it was haphazardly drafted.”
“We have a modified version that I think is going to be much better for both chambers,” Johnson told reporters on Monday.
“It makes sure that we’re not going to orphan two of the primary agencies of DHS,” he added. “We have to make sure that immigration law is enforced and that the border is safe and secure. Democrats don’t want to have any part of that, so unfortunately, we have to do that on our own.”
But the White House, in a memo to House Republicans obtained by Fox News Digital, demanded that Johnson pass the Senate’s bill as is, and warned that unless the House took action, the remaining DHS funding would soon dry up.
“It is imperative that Congress immediately fund DHS and its critical operations to protect the homeland,” the memo stated.
The Senate bill and a separate budget reconciliation bill funding immigration enforcement are part of a two-track approach that congressional Republicans are pursuing to end the funding lapse.
Johnson has long reflected the view of many in the GOP by voicing objections to the Senate bill because it zeroes out funding for ICE and CBP.
But Senate Republicans are frustrated with their House colleagues who continue to sit on the bill that would reopen most of DHS while teasing forthcoming modifications. Any substantial alteration to the bill outside a minor technical correction would kick the bill back to the Senate for reconciliation.
Trump has not weighed in on the Senate’s partial DHS bill, but has urged the House to quickly approve the Senate-passed budget blueprint funding immigration enforcement.

GOP INFIGHTING REPLACES CLASH WITH DEMS, DERAILS PATH TO END HISTORIC DHS SHUTDOWN
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., noted that it had been nearly 30 days since he and the speaker put out a joint statement supporting the Senate’s funding bill.
“I guess my question is, what was the alternative? And that’s what I said to them at the time, and you tell me, give me a better option, ’cause I’m open to ideas,” Thune said Tuesday. “But I don’t think anybody had one, and we had a bunch of agencies that weren’t being funded.”
Congressional Democrats have ripped Johnson for holding up the Senate bill, though Republicans note that Congress would not be in the funding stalemate if Democrats had agreed to a full-year spending bill for the department.
“Johnson can just take up the bill that was passed unanimously in the Senate and we’d be funding all of DHS except for ICE and CBP, and then we could work on that,” Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez, D-N.M., told Fox News on Tuesday.
“The fact that he has failed to do so is outrageous and it’s on him that we are not paying the rest of DHS,” she added.

Meanwhile, Senate Democrats, who voted unanimously alongside Republicans twice on the funding deal, are scratching their heads about what exactly Johnson is trying to do.

Democrats have also signaled a possible return of the funding standoff that dominated the upper chamber for over a month.
“They’re just stuck so they come up with — we need some technical changes,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said. “Hold up national security for technical changes? It’s absurd.”
