国土安全部停摆或将持续,国会将休会两周


2026年3月30日 / 美国东部时间上午11:00 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

华盛顿报道——美国国土安全部停摆现已创下历史最长纪录,在众议院共和党人上周晚些时候否决了参议院通过的僵局解决方案后,这场停摆或将进一步延长。

此次国土安全部停摆已持续45天,超过了去年的拨款中断事件,成为史上最长的一次。尽管近几个月来国会能够为政府大部分部门拨付资金,但国土安全部是个例外。此前明尼阿波利斯发生两起联邦特工参与的致命枪击事件后,民主党一直要求对移民机构进行改革。

上周晚些时候,参议院达成两党解决方案,为国土安全部大部分机构提供资金,但共和党内部的内讧彻底断送了该方案的推进路径。

数周以来,参议院民主党人与白宫一直在就移民海关执法局的改革方案进行谈判。但由于迟迟未能取得突破,参议院改变策略,开始推行一项不包含移民海关执法局资金的计划,这反映出停摆对美国运输安全管理局等其他国土安全部机构造成的严重压力。特朗普总统宣布将签署行政令为运输安全管理局官员发放工资后,参议院于周五凌晨一致通过了国土安全部拨款法案。该法案未包含移民海关执法局及部分海关和边境保护局的资金。

众议院共和党人批评了参议院的策略。来自路易斯安那州的众议院议长迈克·约翰逊称这是一个“笑话”,并推动了一项替代方案,临时为国土安全部所有机构提供资金。周五晚些时候,众议院共和党人仅获得三名民主党人的支持,通过了这项为期60天的持续拨款决议。

参众两院均要到4月13日当周才会返回华盛顿。如果参众两院无法达成共识,国土安全部将继续停摆。

参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩对共和党同僚表示,他正与少数党领袖查克·舒默商讨,能否在国土安全部拨款问题上达成共识。但舒默的一名发言人表示,这位纽约州民主党议员“明确表示,民主党不会接受任何低于参议院一致通过的法案的方案”。

参议院共和党议员有53人,要推进多数立法案需达到60票门槛,因此必须获得民主党议员的支持。

未来几天,要求议员缩短休会期的呼声可能会越来越高。来自犹他州的共和党参议员迈克·李敦促参议院领导人周日就召集国会复会,他在X平台上写道:“坐等与查克·舒默达成协议,不会给参议院民主党人施加任何推动国土安全部拨款的压力。”

“中断他们的休假,迫使他们在参议院 floor 就国土安全部拨款进行辩论,才会施加压力,”李补充道,“我们不能用两周的休假奖励前所未有的阻挠行为。”

李还提到总统有权“在特殊场合”召集参众两院中的一院或两院。总统是否会采取行动促使国会提前返回,仍有待观察。

白宫边境事务专员汤姆·霍曼周日在接受玛格丽特·布伦南主持的《与媒体见面》节目采访时表示,他希望总统能迫使议员返回。“他们正在休假,而与此同时数万国土安全部员工却拿不到工资,”他说。

“总统已经找到了为运输安全管理局工作人员支付工资的办法,这样我们就能保障民众顺利通过安检通道,”霍曼补充道,“所以我们现在只需要为国土安全部拨付资金。”

总统上周晚些时候做出为运输安全管理局支付工资的决定后,相关工作人员将于本周一开始收到工资。霍曼表示,一直在机场协助运输安全管理局工作人员的移民海关执法局特工将继续坚守岗位,直到相关机构恢复正常运作。

“移民海关执法局是来帮助运输安全管理局的同仁们的,”霍曼说,“我们会一直留在那里,直到他们恢复正常运作,认为机场安全有保障为止。”

特朗普总统周日在空军一号上对记者表示,“移民海关执法局的工作人员表现非凡”。他表示,政府将“只要有必要就多久”为运输安全管理局支付费用。

DHS shutdown set to stretch on with Congress on 2-week break

March 30, 2026 / 11:00 AM EDT / CBS News

Washington — The shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, now the longest in history, is set to stretch on after House Republicans rejected a Senate-passed solution to the standoff late last week.

At 45 days, the DHS shutdown has surpassed last year’s funding lapse to become the longest in history. Though Congress was able to fund the bulk of the government in recent months, DHS has been the exception, with Democrats demanding reforms to immigration agencies since two deadly shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis.

After the Senate reached a bipartisan solution to fund the bulk of the department late last week, it was GOP infighting that dashed the path forward.

Senate Democrats and the White House had been negotiating reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement in recent weeks. But as a breakthrough remained out of reach, the Senate changed course and began pursuing a plan that left out funding for ICE, a reflection of the intense strain of the shutdown on other DHS agencies, like the TSA. After President Trump announced he would sign an executive order topay TSA officers, the Senate unanimouslyapproved funding for DHSEarly Friday morning. The measure left out funds for ICE and some of Customs and Border Protection.

House Republicans criticized the Senate’s strategy. Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, called it a “joke,” and moved forward with an alternate measure to fund the entirety of DHS on a temporary basis. Late Friday, House Republicans approved the 60-day continuing resolution with support from just three Democrats.

Neither chamber is set to return to Washington until the week of April 13. And without agreement between the House and Senate, DHS will remain shut down.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune told Republicans that he’s working with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to determine if there’s room for agreement on DHS funding. But a spokesperson for Schumer said the New York Democrat “made clear that Democrats would not accept anything less than what was passed unanimously by the Senate.”

With 53 Republicans in the Senate, support from Democrats is necessary to reach a 60-vote threshold to advance most legislation.

Calls for lawmakers to cut their recess short could grow in the coming days. GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah urged Senate leaders to bring Congress back into session on Sunday, writing on Xthat “Waiting for a deal to materialize with Chuck Schumer applies no pressure on Senate Democrats to fund DHS.”

“Interrupting their recess and forcing them to debate DHS funding on the Senate floor would apply pressure,” Lee added. “We can’t reward unprecedented obstruction with two-week recesses.”

Lee also pointed to the president’s ability to convene one or both houses of Congress “on extraordinary Occasions.” Whether the president would take action to prompt Congress’ early return remains to be seen.

White House border czar Tom Homan said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” on Sunday that he hopes the president will compel lawmakers to return. “They’re on vacation right now while tens of thousands of DHS employees aren’t being paid,” he said.

“The president found a way to pay TSA workers so we can get the American public through those lines,” Homan added. “So we just need to get the department funded.”

After the president’s move late last week to pay TSA, agents are set to receive paychecks beginning on Monday. Homan said ICE agents, who have been assisting TSA agents at airports, will remain in place until they return to regular operations.

“ICE is there to help our brothers and sisters in TSA,” Homan said. “We’ll be there as long as they need us, until they get back to normal operations and feel like those airports are secure.”

Mr. Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday that “the ICE workers have been amazing.” He said the administration will pay TSA for “as long as we have to.”
