长期任职的得州共和党参议员约翰·科恩指责民主党人在威胁升级之际，通过支持庇护政策、任由国土安全部资金无着落，危及美国民众的生命安全。
在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时，科恩痛批民主党：“这不过是左翼‘解散警方’心态的又一表现。”
此番言论发布之际，周六在白宫记者协会晚宴上针对唐纳德·特朗普总统的又一起未遂暗杀事件，引发了全国范围内对公共安全威胁的高度担忧。
此外，全美各地社区普遍担忧涉及非法移民的暴力犯罪。与此同时，国土安全部正经历其历史上最长时间的拨款中断，进一步削弱了其应对威胁的能力。

“我们知道这里有危险分子，”他说，“有犯罪记录的人和其他对公共安全构成威胁的人。如果说有哪一项工作对我们的公民来说是头号、不可动摇的职责，那就是公共安全。”

作为参议院最资深议员之一、边境安全与移民小组委员会主席的科恩，上周提出了《庇护城市消除法案》，该法案将禁止庇护城市获得联邦资金，以确保当地警方配合移民海关执法局（ICE）的拘押请求。
在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时，科恩还指责民主党将国土安全部“扣为人质”，以“逃避为移民执法提供资金”。他补充道：“这不过是左翼‘解散警方’心态的又一表现，现在具体体现在非法移民问题上。”
科恩痛批民主党，并以12岁的乔斯林·农加雷的死亡为例。这位居住在休斯顿的美国公民于2024年拜登政府任期内，被两名非法移民杀害。
“得克萨斯州民众记得乔斯林·农加雷这样的名字，以及其他在拜登政府四年任期内，因无限制的开放边境移民政策而遇害的受害者，”他说，“如今在特朗普总统治下，我们拥有安全、稳固的边境，（民主党人）却表示他们不想支持移民海关执法局（ICE）。”
科恩正与得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿陷入激烈的党内初选 runoff。帕克斯顿正挑战科恩自2002年起担任的参议院席位。尽管帕克斯顿获得了“转折点美国”等组织的背书，科恩则得到了全国边境巡逻委员会的支持。唐纳德·特朗普总统尚未在这场选举中发表背书，初选将在5月底由选民投票决定。

科恩的《庇护城市消除法案》得到了参议员约翰·巴拉索（怀俄明州共和党）、泰德·巴德（北卡罗来纳州共和党）、蒂姆·斯科特（南卡罗来纳州共和党）、辛西娅·拉米斯（怀俄明州共和党）和埃里克·施密特（密苏里州共和党）的联署。
据科恩办公室透露，如果该法案获得通过，将禁止庇护城市和州获得某些联邦资金和拨款，包括艺术、教育、环境和社区发展整笔拨款。该法案还旨在保护配合ICE拘押请求的州和地方执法人员，将他们视为联邦执法人员，使其免受起诉。
此外，该法案允许“受到庇护辖区释放的外籍罪犯侵害”的州政府起诉这些辖区和联邦政府，以强制执行对该庇护辖区的资金禁令。
就在科恩提出该法案的同一周，休斯顿市议会在州官员威胁采取法律行动的情况下，放弃了一项类似庇护城市的政策。
科恩认为他的法案可以在全国范围内实现类似的效果。他指出，即使民主党阻挠该法案的推进，“我们当然可以尝试通过我们将用于为ICE和国土安全部提供资金的同一协调程序来通过这项法案。”
“这是一场我们不应回避的战斗，”他说。

提及即将到来的中期选举，科恩表示相信这一问题将在11月继续引发选民共鸣。
“他们不在乎公共安全……我们在乎公共安全，”他说，并补充道，“这是一个相当鲜明的对比，我们或许需要将这一点呈现给选民。”
在谈到周末的枪击事件时，科恩告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“民主党人一边假装关心特朗普总统的生命安全，一边拒绝为关押特勤局和其他宣誓保护他的机构的部门提供资金，这说不通。”
“我希望，过去周末发生的事件最终能给民主党敲响警钟，让他们为国土安全部提供资金。”

WATCH: Cornyn tears into Dems for holding DHS ‘hostage’ and failing the No. 1 ‘non-negotiable’ for America

Texas senator calls out Democrats over DHS funding, sanctuary fights amid homeland chaos
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, called out Democrats over Homeland Security funding and sanctuary policy fights amid threats to national security.

Longtime Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn accused Democrats of jeopardizing American lives amid heightened threats by supporting sanctuary policies and allowing the Department of Homeland Security to remain unfunded.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Cornyn decried the Democrats, saying, “This is just another manifestation of the sort of defund police mentality on the left.”
The comments come amid heightened national concern over public safety threats following what appeared to be another attempted assassination targeting President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner Saturday.
There is also widespread concern over violent crimes involving illegal immigrants in communities across the country. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security is experiencing the longest funding lapse in its history, further straining its ability to respond to threats.

“We know there are dangerous people here,” he said. “People with criminal records and others who are a threat to public safety. And if there’s one job that is No. 1, non-negotiable, when it comes to our citizens, it’s public safety.”

Cornyn, one of the most senior members of the Senate who chairs the Border Security and Immigration Subcommittee, introduced the Sanctuary City Elimination Act last week to ensure local police comply with ICE detainers by barring sanctuary cities from accessing federal funding.
Speaking with Fox News Digital, Cornyn also accused Democrats of holding DHS “hostage” to “avoid funding immigration enforcement.” He added that “this is just another manifestation of the sort of defund police mentality on the left, specifically now in the context of illegal immigration.”
Cornyn ripped into Democrats, pointing to deaths such as that of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, a U.S. citizen living in Houston who was killed by two illegal immigrants during the Biden administration in 2024.
“Folks in Texas remember names like Jocelyn Nungaray and others who have been victims of the unlimited open borders immigration that the Biden administration allowed during his four years in office,” he said. “Now that we have safe, secure borders under President Trump, [Democrats] are saying they don’t want to support the Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE.”
Cornyn is locked in a bitter primary runoff with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The attorney general is challenging Cornyn for the Senate seat he has held since 2002. While Paxton has received endorsements from the likes of Turning Point USA, Cornyn has been endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council. President Donald Trump has not issued an endorsement in the race, which will be decided by voters in late May.

Cornyn’s Sanctuary City Elimination Act is cosponsored by Sens. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., Ted Budd, R-N.C., Tim Scott, R-S.C., Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., and Eric Schmitt, R-Mo.
If passed, the measure would bar sanctuary cities and states from receiving certain federal funds and grants, including arts, education, environmental and community development block grants, according to Cornyn’s office. The bill would also seek to shield state and local law enforcement officers who comply with ICE detainers from prosecution by treating them as federal officers.
Additionally, the bill allows state governments “harmed by criminal aliens released by sanctuary jurisdictions” to sue those jurisdictions and the federal government to enforce the prohibition on funding to that sanctuary jurisdiction.
The same week Cornyn introduced the bill, the Houston City Council backed off a sanctuary-type policy amid threats of legal action from state officials.
Cornyn believes his bill can accomplish a similar result across the country. He noted that even if Democrats stymie progress on his bill, “We can certainly try to pass this using the same reconciliation process that we’ll use to fund ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.”
“This is a battleground that we should not shy away from,” he said.

Alluding to the upcoming midterm elections, Cornyn expressed confidence the issue will continue to resonate with voters in November.
“They don’t care about public safety. … We do care about public safety,” he said, adding that “is a pretty good contrast and one that we may need to just take to the voters.”
Addressing the weekend shooting, Cornyn told Fox News Digital, “Democrats cannot feign concern for President Trump’s life while also refusing to fund the very Department that houses Secret Service and other agencies sworn to protect him.
“I hope that, finally, the events of this past weekend will serve as a wake-up call for Democrats to fund DHS.”
Fox News Digital reached out to spokespeople for former President Joe Biden and to Paxton for comment. Fox News Digital also reached out to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for comment.
