在党内一场混乱的内讧数日后,唐纳德·特朗普总统与共和党领导人正展现出团结姿态,提出一项计划,在有史以来最长的部分政府停摆期间重新开放国土安全部。

但目前尚不清楚恢复拨款需要多长时间,因为该计划距离提交特朗普签署还相差甚远。尽管参议院计划最早于周四上午迈出初步步骤,但众议院尚未公布其行动时间——多位众议院共和党消息人士告诉CNN,未来几天内几乎不可能有所动作,许多共和党人仍迫切希望获得明确保证:剩余的移民拨款将到位,同时仍对让民主党成功削减他们所厌恶的机构部分资金的先例心存警惕。

参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩与议长迈克·约翰逊于周三发表声明,宣布一项雄心勃勃的双轨计划,以结束国土安全部停摆,并推进特朗普的第二项大型法案,此前特朗普总统于去年夏天通过了以税收和边境为核心的“宏伟法案”。

然而,这份联合声明并未提及一个主要遗留障碍——众议院究竟何时愿意通过他们从一开始就反感的参议院计划,这将考验共和党脆弱的团结。在国会微弱的席位优势和中期选举仅数月之遥的背景下,共和党领导人无论推行任何计划都将异常艰难。

在声明中,图恩与约翰逊实际上承认,国会将需要接受部分重新开放国土安全部,这位参议院共和党领袖上周已接受这一方案,但遭到了众议院共和党同僚的鄙视。

但这也为约翰逊与众议院保守派带来了甜头——公开承诺推动第二项特朗普大型法案,以确保获得额外的移民拨款。 Hill共和党领导人的这份声明发布前不久,特朗普也发表了类似声明,要求在6月1日前通过该法案。

共和党人将采用所谓的“和解程序”,这是一项极为复杂的操作,必须严格遵守参议院的预算规则,但可以绕过该院的阻挠议事,无需民主党投票即可通过法案。

图恩此前曾暗示,在他同意与民主党支持通过一项部分国土安全部拨款法案后,参议院共和党人可以采取这一棘手途径来确保移民海关执法局(ICE)的资金。但众议院共和党人迅速否决了该计划,批评其缺乏移民执法资金。

如今,长期以来一直渴望再次使用这一复杂程序性工具的众议院共和党人,迫使图恩和特朗普公开表态支持该程序。

议员们面临着从休会期返回并通过法案的巨大压力,TMZ网站发布了议员们离开华盛顿、休假、参加家庭活动、返回本州以及出国进行正式国会访问的照片。周三,这家小报发布了一组国会议员在苏格兰访问的照片。

威斯康星州共和党众议员德里克·范·奥尔登的发言人在一份声明中表示,这位议员与其他议员一同“参加了数月前经众议院道德委员会预先批准的代表团访问。此次访问聚焦经济发展、外国伙伴关系和商业交流,包括与议员及其他国际官员的会面。” 前往其他国家的国会代表团访问是参众两院议员职责中常见的一部分。

两党议员都清楚,所谓的“和解2.0版”将极其困难:即便尝试将法案范围相对收窄,议员们仍会试图在法案中加入所有竞选年度的优先事项,包括技术上不允许出现在以预算为核心的法案中的诸如选民身份证等政策诉求。

共和党人还认真讨论过利用和解程序为特朗普对伊朗的战争提供资金,因为民主党人无意支持这项行动。目前尚不清楚尚未正式申请的伊朗战争资金能否在6月1日前通过该法案。

在声明中,特朗普表示他正与共和党国会领导人合作,通过第二项和解法案为ICE和边境巡逻队提供资金,他要求该法案能在极短的时限内提交他签署。

特朗普抨击民主党人在满足关键改革要求之前不向ICE提供资金,并表示他正计划通过和解程序绕过民主党人为该机构提供资金。

“这就是为什么我们将通过无需激进左翼民主党人投票、绕过参议院阻挠议事(应立即废除!)的程序,为我们出色的ICE特工和边境巡逻队提供资金,我们将与众议院议长迈克·约翰逊和参议院领袖约翰·图恩密切合作,”他在一篇长篇Truth Social帖子中说道。

特朗普要求共和党推出新的大型法案之际,这位总统此前基本对国会日益加深的国土安全部停摆危机持观望态度。如今,他希望为停摆画上潜在的终点,并试图在数日丑陋的党内互攻之后,迫使共和党团结在一项解决方案背后。

总统在一个艰难的时刻向国会提出了新要求:共和党议员在战略和议程上存在严重分歧,约翰逊在众议院仅拥有微弱多数优势,容错空间极小。他们也清楚,议员们会争相将自己的优先事项附加到这项大型法案中。参众两院的许多议员,包括领导层在内,都认为这将是通过特朗普提出的更多伊朗战争资金要求的唯一途径——这在今年春季也将是一项巨大的挑战。

共和党领导人已试图将该法案标榜为“精简版”和解法案,以防止议员们在法案中添加过多内容,延误通过进程。但极端保守派渴望利用该工具进行债务削减,并可能要求在任何一揽子计划中纳入削减开支的内容。

GOP leaders declare path to end DHS shutdown — but enormous hurdles remain

Days after a messy intra-party blowup, President Donald Trump and GOP leaders are projecting unity on a plan to reopen the Department of Homeland Security amid the longest-ever partial government shutdown.

But it’s not yet clear how long it will take to restore funding since the plan is nowhere near close to landing on Trump’s desk. While the Senate plans to take its initial step as soon as Thursday morning, the House hasn’t yet said when it will make its moves — and multiple House GOP sources told CNN that is highly unlikely to happen in the next few days, with many Republicans still eager for clear assurances that the remaining immigration funding will be delivered and still wary of the precedent of letting Democrats successfully defund parts of an agency they dislike.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Speaker Mike Johnson issued a statement on Wednesday declaring an ambitious two-track plan to end the DHS shutdown and pursue a second Trump megabill, after the passage last summer of the president’s tax and border-focused “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

That joint statement, however, does not address a major remaining hurdle — when exactly the House will be willing to pass the Senate plan that they’ve detested from the start, putting the GOP’s fragile unity to the test. And any plan will be extraordinarily difficult for GOP leaders to pull off within Congress’s narrow margins and just months from a midterm election.

In their statement, Thune and Johnson effectively acknowledge that Congress will need to accept a partial reopening of DHS, which the Senate GOP leader had accepted last week to the disdain of his House GOP colleagues.

But it also comes with a sweetener for Johnson and House conservatives — a public promise for a second Trump megabill to secure that extra immigration funding. The statement from the Hill GOP leaders came shortly after Trump issued a similar statement demanding that bill by June 1.

Republicans will pursue what’s known as reconciliation, a highly complex maneuver that must abide by strict Senate budgetary rules, but allows them to bypass that chamber’s filibuster and pass a bill without Democratic votes.

Thune had already suggested that Senate Republicans could pursue this tricky route to secure ICE funding when he agreed to pass a partial DHS funding bill with Democratic support. House Republicans, however, quickly rejected that plan, criticizing the lack of immigration enforcement funding.

Now, House Republicans who have been long eager to use the complex procedural tool again have forced both Thune and Trump to go on the record supporting it.

Lawmakers have been under intense pressure to return from their recess and pass a bill, with TMZ publishing photographs of members leaving Washington, on vacation, at family events, back in their home states and on official congressional trips abroad. On Wednesday, the tabloid published photos of a group of members of Congress on a trip in Scotland.

A spokesperson for GOP Rep. Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin, one of the lawmakers seen in the photos, said in a statement that the congressman joined other members “on a delegation that was pre-approved by the House Ethics Committee months ago. The trip focuses on economic development, foreign partnerships, and business engagement, including meetings with members of Parliament and other international officials.” Congressional delegation trips to other countries are a common part of lawmakers’ duties in both the House and Senate.

GOP leaders in both chambers know that so-called Reconciliation 2.0 will be extremely difficult: Even if there is an effort to keep it relatively narrowly focused, members will try to load up that bill with all their election-year priorities, including policy wish-lists like voter ID that are not technically allowed in the budget-focused bill.

Republicans have also seriously talked about using the reconciliation maneuver to fund Trump’s war in Iran since Democrats have no interest in supporting it. It’s not yet clear if the Iran money — which hasn’t been formally requested yet — can pass in this measure before June 1.

In his statement, Trump said he is working with Republican congressional leaders to fund ICE and border patrol with a second reconciliation bill he has demanded be ready for his signature by the remarkably quick deadline.

Trump slammed Democrats for not funding ICE until key demands on reforms were met, and the president said he is planning to work around Democrats by using the reconciliation process to provide money for the agency.

“That’s why we are going forward to fund our incredible ICE Agents and Border Patrol through a process that doesn’t need Radical Left Democrat votes, and bypasses the Senate Filibuster (which should be repealed, IMMEDIATELY!), working in close conjunction with House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Leader John Thune,” he said in a lengthy Truth Social post.

Trump’s directive to the party for a new GOP megabill comes after the president mostly remained on the sidelines of Congress’ deepening DHS shutdown crisis. Now, he’s hoping to put a potential end in sight for the shutdown — and trying to force the GOP to unite behind a solution after days of ugly intraparty sniping.

The president is tossing a new demand to Congress at a rough time: GOP lawmakers are deeply divided on strategy and agenda, and Johnson has only a single vote to lose in the House. They also know members will clamor to get their own priorities tacked onto the megabill. Many lawmakers in both chambers, including in leadership, believe this will be the only way to pass Trump’s demands for more Iran funding, as well — which will be another huge lift this spring.

GOP leaders are already trying to brand the bill as a “skinny” reconciliation bill to prevent their members from overloading the bill and holding up its passage. But ultraconservatives are eager to use the tool for debt reduction — and may demand that cuts be included in any package.
