众议院挫败了共和党人对特朗普支持的结束最新部分政府停摆的资金方案的反对，而上议院议员并不确信国会能在未来几周内避免再次陷入同样的困境。
唐纳德·特朗普总统与参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默上周达成协议，结束了停摆。这项资金休战协议包括将有争议的国土安全部（DHS）资金法案搁置一旁，转而进行短期延期以维持该机构的运转。
众议院通过了这项为国会管辖范围内12个政府机构中的11个提供资金的法案，这为白宫与参议院民主党人就国土安全部改革进行紧张谈判铺平了道路。

但几名参议院共和党人质疑，从周三开始，原本已缩短至仅9天的两周时间是否足够避免另一次部分停摆——这次仅针对国土安全部。
“我认为在两周内完成（国土安全部资金法案）非常困难，”佛罗里达州共和党参议员里克·斯科特告诉福克斯新闻数字版。
斯科特是上议院少数几个拒绝妥协计划和原始法案的共和党人之一，原因是专项拨款支出膨胀，以及对参议院民主党人可能会有效削弱美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）在全国行动的担忧。
“我们会陷入更糟糕的境地，”斯科特说，“我的意思是……所有的专项拨款都通过了，而现在他们又想，你知道，他们想忙着削弱并削减ICE的资金。”
国会民主党人希望在明尼阿波利斯的一次移民执法行动中亚历克斯·普雷蒂被致命枪击后重新讨论两党国土安全部法案。这一要求迫使特朗普进行干预，并在周五将政府推向部分停摆。
尽管这项（资金协议）已送到他的办公桌上，但考虑到议员们需要谈判这项法案的时间很短，而这项法案一贯是每年最难通过的支出法案，国会仍无法摆脱困境。
参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩指出，一旦谈判开始，国会将在“非常短的时间内”完成这项工作，而他对此持反对态度。

“但民主党坚持，你知道，两周的窗口期，这一点我再次不明白其道理，”图恩说，“任何了解这里情况的人都知道这是不可能的。”
一些参议院民主党人不愿对即将到来的假设情景置评，但亚利桑那州民主党参议员马克·凯利认为，由于明尼苏达州的事件，“两党应该有动力去处理这些问题。”
“我的意思是，我认为[国土安全部部长] [克里斯蒂·诺姆]应该被解雇，美国移民和海关执法局的领导层需要更换，他们的预算规模需要合理，”凯利说，“我们要让他们看起来像正常的警察。”
参议院拨款委员会主席、缅因州共和党人苏珊·柯林斯则持较为积极的态度。

她告诉福克斯新闻数字版，国会将处于更好的位置，因为议员们将通过12项联邦政府拨款法案中的11项。
“我们现在将开始就国土安全部进行谈判，我希望我们能成功，但我不明白如何比较我们今天的处境，”柯林斯说。
图恩认为，诺姆宣布明尼阿波利斯的ICE特工将开始佩戴随身摄像机，这可能会成为民主党人的“甜头”。目前的两党国土安全部资金法案中已包含2000万美元用于购置随身摄像机。
舒默拒绝了诺姆的这一橄榄枝，认为这与民主党人希望该机构进行的一系列改革相去甚远。他重申，参议院民主党人希望国土安全部改革能有实际的立法行动，而不是行政命令。

“我们知道唐纳德·特朗普是多么反复无常，”舒默说，“他今天说一件事，明天就收回。诺姆部长也是如此。”
“所以，我们不信任某些行政命令，不信任某个内阁部长的某些声明。我们需要将其写入法律。”
当被问及议员是否需要转向另一个短期资金补丁时，舒默表示：“如果图恩领袖真诚谈判，我们可以完成。我们期望很快向共和党人提出一个非常严肃、详细的提案。”
但图恩几天来一直表示，将由白宫主导谈判，最终可能由特朗普促成新的协议。
“但显然，在某些时候，必须有[白宫参与]与参议院民主党人的对话，这才是最终的解决办法，”图恩说。

Shutdown averted for now, but Senate warns DHS fight could trigger another in days

As the House crushed Republican resistance to a Trump-backed funding package to end the latest partial government shutdown, lawmakers in the upper chamber weren’t confident that Congress could avoid being in the same position in the coming weeks.
President Donald Trump and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., brokered the deal to end the shutdown last week. That funding truce included a move to sideline the controversial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill in favor of a short-term extension to keep the agency open.
The House’s passage of the package, which funds 11 out of 12 government agencies under Congress’ purview, sets the stage for tense negotiations between the White House and Senate Democrats over reforms to DHS.

But several Senate Republicans are questioning whether two weeks, which had shrunk to just nine days as of Wednesday, would be enough time to avert another partial shutdown — this time only for DHS.
“I think it’s gonna be very difficult to get the [funding bill done for DHS] in two weeks,” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital.
Scott was one of a handful of Republicans in the upper chamber that rejected the compromise plan and the underlying original package because of bloated spending on earmarks and concerns that Senate Democrats would effectively try to kneecap Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations across the country.
“We’re going to be in a worse spot,” Scott said. “I mean… all their earmarks got done, and then now they’re going to want to, you know, they want to [get] busy de-fanging and defunding ICE.”
Congressional Democrats wanted to relitigate the bipartisan DHS bill after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. The demand forced Trump to intervene and thrust the government into a partial shutdown on Friday.
While the [funding deal] made it across his desk, it won’t get Congress out of the jam it’s in, given the short amount of time lawmakers have to negotiate the bill, which is consistently the most difficult spending bill to pass year in and year out.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., noted that once negotiations began, Congress had a “very short timeframe in which to do this, which I am against.”

“But the Democrats insisted on, you know, a two-week window, which, again, I don’t understand the rationale for that,” Thune said. “Anybody who knows this place knows that’s an impossibility.”
Some Senate Democrats did not want to weigh in on a hypothetical scenario just days away, but Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., contended that because of the events in Minnesota, “there should be some motivation across the aisle to do something on, you know, all these issues.”
“I mean, I think [DHS Secretary] [Kristi Noem] should be fired, leadership needs to be changed at ICE, their budget needs to be the right size,” Kelly said. “We got to get them looking like normal police officers.”
Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, R-Maine, struck a more positive tone.

She told Fox News Digital that Congress would be in a much better position, considering that lawmakers will have passed 11 out of the 12 bills needed to fund the federal government.
“We’ll now start the negotiations on DHS, and I hope we’ll be successful, but I don’t see how you can compare where we are today,” Collins said.
Thune believed that Noem’s announcement that ICE agents in Minneapolis would begin wearing body-worn cameras could act as a sweetener for Democrats. There is already $20 million baked into the current bipartisan DHS funding bill for body cameras.
Schumer rejected that olive branch from Noem, arguing that it didn’t come nearly close enough to the portfolio of reforms Democrats wanted for the agency. And he reaffirmed that Senate Democrats wanted actual legislative action on DHS reforms, not an executive order.

“We know how whimsical Donald Trump is,” Schumer said. “He’ll say one thing one day and retract it the next. Same with Secretary Noem.”
“So, we don’t trust some executive order, some pronouncement from some Cabinet secretary. We need it enshrined into law.”
When asked if lawmakers would need to turn to another short-term funding patch, Schumer argued that “if Leader Thune negotiates in good faith, we can get it done. We expect to present to the Republicans a very serious, detailed proposal very shortly.”
But Thune has said for several days that it would be the White House in the driver’s seat, and ultimately it would be Trump who could broker a new deal.
“But at some points, obviously it has to be the [White House engaged] in the conversation with the Senate Democrats, and that’s how that thing’s gonna land,” Thune said.
