参议院准备推进移民机构拨款和解法案

华盛顿讯——在一场围绕美国司法部“反武器化”基金的拉锯战险些破坏期待已久的拨款进程后,参议院共和党人准备最早于周三推进一项国土安全部移民机构拨款法案。

此前,共和党人在上月与代理司法部长托德·布兰奇举行激烈会晤后,一直要求本届政府就这个有争议的基金的去向作出保证。布兰奇周二在众议院委员会作证时表示:“我们不会推进这项基金。”

该司法部计划旨在为那些指称联邦政府“武器化”针对他们的个人提供纳税人资助的赔偿,此举在国会山引发强烈反对。周二,部分共和党人仍持保留态度,导致领导层无法推进和解法案。

但参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩在布兰奇作证后表现出信心,认为共和党人已获得必要支持,最早可于周三推进该法案。

“我们抱有希望,”图恩在国会山对记者表示,并补充说他“在祈祷好运”。

这位南达科他州的共和党人表示,“大多数议员都相当满意”布兰奇的表态,并指出这些言论是在公开宣誓听证会上作出的,尽管布兰奇拒绝将任何内容书面化。

“他的言论极具帮助,”图恩说,“至于这些言论是否能让部分议员满意,我们拭目以待。”

少数参议院共和党人已暗示仍持怀疑态度,比如北卡罗来纳州参议员汤姆·提利斯和德克萨斯州参议员约翰·科宁。科宁周二预计,布兰奇的言论可能对“一些人来说还不够好”。这位上周在总统支持其对手后初选失利的德克萨斯州共和党人,周三上午分享了一篇《华尔街日报》社论,该社论认为国会共和党人可以通过禁止为该基金拨款,永久取消司法部的这项计划。

此次和解法案的预期推进,是在民主党数月来反对为移民执法机构拨款之后发生的。共和党人一直通过预算和解程序自行推进其计划,该程序可绕过大多数立法推进所需的60票门槛。

参议院司法委员会和国土安全委员会的共和党人上月公布了一项720亿美元法案的文本,为移民机构拨款至2029财年,但预计最早将于周三发布更新版本。最初的法案曾为特勤局提供10亿美元拨款,用于“安保调整和升级”,其中包括特朗普总统计划扩建的东翼翻新工程,他打算在那里建造一个大型宴会厅。但这笔拨款遭到少数共和党人以及参议院议事规则委员会的强烈质疑,预计将从最终版本的法案中删除。

Senate prepares to move forward with reconciliation bill to fund immigration agencies

June 3, 2026 / 11:38 AM EDT / CBS News

Washington — Senate Republicans are preparing to move forward with a package to fund the Department of Homeland Security’s immigration agencies as soon as Wednesday, following a back-and-forth over the Justice Department’s “anti-weaponization” fund that threatened to derail the long-sought funding.

Republicans have been seeking assurances from the administration about the controversial fund’s fate after a heated meeting with acting Attorney General Todd Blanche last month. Blanche testified before a House committee on Tuesday that “we are not moving forward with the fund.”

The DOJ program, which aimed to provide taxpayer-funded payouts to individuals who alleged the federal government had been “weaponized” against them, sparked intense pushback on Capitol Hill. And some Republicans continued to express reservations Tuesday that prevented leaders from moving forward with the reconciliation package.

But Senate Majority Leader John Thune appeared confident after Blanche’s testimony that Republicans have the support necessary to proceed to the legislation as soon as Wednesday.

“We’re hopeful,” Thune told reporters at the Capitol, adding that he’s “keeping fingers crossed.”

The South Dakota Republican said “most of our members feel pretty satisfied” with Blanche’s comments, noting that they occurred during a public hearing under oath, despite Blanche’s refusal to put anything in writing.

“His comments were extremely helpful,” Thune said. “Whether they are enough for some of our members, we’ll find out.”

A handful of Senate Republicans have signaled that they remain skeptical, like Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and John Cornyn of Texas. Cornyn anticipated Tuesday that Blanche’s comments may not be “good enough for some people.” And the Texas Republican, who lost his primary last week after the president backed his opponent, shared a Wall Street Journal editorial on Wednesday morning that argued Republicans in Congress can kill the DOJ fund for good by barring money for its use.

The anticipated movement on reconciliation comes after months of Democrats opposing funding for the immigration enforcement agencies. Republicans have been moving ahead with their plan on their own through the budget reconciliation process, which sidesteps the 60-vote threshold required to advance most legislation.

Republicans on the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security committees unveiled the text of a $72 billion package last month to fund immigration agencies through fiscal year 2029, but were expected to release an updated version as soon as Wednesday. The original package would have provided $1 billion to the Secret Service for “security adjustments and upgrades,” including for President Trump’s East Wing renovation, where he plans to build a massive ballroom. But that funding faced intense scrutiny from a handful of Republicans, along with the Senate’s parliamentarian, and it is expected to be dropped from the final package.
