福克斯新闻首席国会记者查德·佩格拉姆在《福克斯新闻之夜》中报道，随着新截止日期临近，国土安全部资金之争持续，部分政府停摆已暂时结束。
南达科他州共和党议员、参议院多数党领袖约翰·瑟恩表示，随着国会在未来几天准备进行紧张谈判，他对国会民主党高层是否有意愿解决国土安全部资金问题缺乏信心。
为期四天的部分政府停摆现已结束，民主党和共和党正准备重新争论备受争议的国土安全部法案，该法案曾威胁要彻底破坏此前的两党资金协议。
距离解决办法的最后期限还有九天，瑟恩认为众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人哈基姆·杰弗里斯或参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默都不愿就该法案达成两党协议。
停摆暂时避免，但参议院警告国土安全部争议可能在数日内触发新停摆

当被问及是否认为杰弗里斯（他曾反对舒默与总统唐纳德·特朗普达成的资金协议）会在即将到来的拉锯战中成为善意合作伙伴时，瑟恩表示：”他不会。”
“就他和舒默领袖而言，他们都胆小如鼠，受到左翼巨大的阻力和压力，”瑟恩说，”所以，我认为他们不想——特别是在杰弗里斯的情况下，我认为他根本不想达成协议。”

舒默周二表示，民主党当天会准备好提案供共和党审查，但瑟恩指出，两党尚未收到这样的清单。
在杰弗里斯背弃特朗普-舒默资金协议后，民主党高层之间可能仍存在争议。然而，两人周二晚间会面，舒默确认他们立场一致。

与此同时，国土安全部目前依据两周期的持续决议案(CR)运作，该决议维持先前资金水平，直至国会通过法案提供全额资金。但瑟恩和其他共和党人认为，这一缩短的时间跨度不足以真正达成协议。
国会是否需要再次临时延长资金补丁，或允许机构停摆，仍是未知数。
令共和党人更为沮丧的是，国土安全部原始法案是两党谈判的产物，包含多项限制移民和海关执法局(ICE)的保障措施和报告要求，如果未满足这些要求，将限制或阻止资金。

“我认为他们想将此作为政治议题进行诉讼，”瑟恩说，”是否有解决方案仍有待观察，但至少他们公开表示的内容表明这不是他们的目标。”

Thune blasts Jeffries, Schumer as ‘afraid of their shadows’ as DHS funding fight heats up
Senate Majority Leader John Thune doesn’t have confidence that top congressional Democrats want to fix DHS funding bill

Fox News chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on the end of a partial government shutdown as the battle over DHS funding continues ahead of a new deadline on ‘Fox News @ Night.’
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., doesn’t have confidence that top congressional Democrats want to fix Homeland Security funding as Congress gears up for tense negotiations in the coming days.
With the partial four-day government shutdown now over, Democrats and Republicans are readying to relitigate the controversial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) bill, which threatened to completely derail a previous bipartisan funding deal.
And with nine days on the clock to figure out a way forward, Thune doesn’t believe that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., or Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., are prepared to actually reach a bipartisan deal on the bill.
SHUTDOWN AVERTED FOR NOW, BUT SENATE WARNS DHS FIGHT COULD TRIGGER ANOTHER IN DAYS

When asked if he viewed Jeffries, who rebelled against Schumer’s funding deal with President Donald Trump, as a good-faith partner in the coming back-and-forth, Thune said, “He’s just not.”
“He and, for that matter, Leader Schumer, both are afraid of their shadows, and they’re getting a lot of rollback and pressure from their left,” Thune said. “So, I don’t think they want to — particularly in [Jeffries’] case, I don’t think he wants to make a deal at all.”

Schumer on Tuesday said that Democrats would have a proposal ready for Republicans to review that same day, but Thune noted that no such list had been handed over to his side of the aisle.
There may still be lingering discourse between the top Democratic leaders, too, after Jeffries turned his back on the Trump-Schumer funding deal. However, both met on Tuesday night, and Schumer affirmed that they were on the same page.

Meanwhile, DHS is currently operating under a two-week continuing resolution (CR) that maintains previous funding levels until Congress can pass legislation to fully fund it. But Thune and other Republicans believe that the truncated time period just isn’t long enough to actually hash out a deal.
And it’s an open question whether Congress will again need to temporarily extend the funding patch, or allow the agency to shut down.
Compounding frustrations among Republicans is that the original DHS bill was the product of bipartisan negotiations and included several guardrails and reporting requirements targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that would limit or block funding if they weren’t met.

“I think they want to litigate, have the issue as a political issue,” Thune said. “Whether or not there’s a solution remains to be seen, but at least what they’re saying publicly suggests that that’s not their objective.”
