随着国土安全部（DHS）可能在数日内停摆，共和党人对唐纳德·特朗普总统的警告声越来越大：不要在关乎其竞选核心的问题上屈服于公众压力。
尽管白宫已与民主党就国土安全部改革展开接触，但越来越多的共和党议员敦促特朗普及其团队采取强硬立场，转而争取共和党优先事项，例如打击所谓的“庇护城市”，以换取民主党在联邦移民执法方面的任何让步。
密苏里州共和党参议员埃里克·施密特就是其中一位发出呼吁的议员。他周末与总统一起打高尔夫球并观看了超级碗比赛。施密特认为，即使国会面临紧迫的资金截止期限，总统也无需屈服于另一党的要求。
“我们绝不能以任何形式削弱美国移民海关执法局（ICE）的力量，”施密特告诉美国有线电视新闻网，“特朗普总统竞选时就强调了这个问题。所以，我认为这是我们的主场，如果民主党想继续走这条路，最终输的会是他们。”
共和党人认为，特朗普去年夏天签署的标志性政策法案为国土安全部注入了数十亿美元用于移民执法——他们声称，这些资金足以维持数月甚至数年的运作。而停摆的影响将主要落在联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）和运输安全管理局（TSA）等其他项目上，他们表示这会让民主党在长期僵局中更难捍卫自身立场。
“我不知道我们为什么要在拨款法案中考虑政策举措。如果他们想在立法中提出这个愚蠢的20点计划，我们就来辩论。他们会输掉的，”施密特挑战道。（民主党已向白宫提出一系列要求，包括要求特工使用随身摄像头、限制巡逻队等。）
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊周三晚间告诉记者，白宫计划很快向民主党提供新的谈判细节，但目前尚不清楚在周五国土安全部资金到期前能否达成协议。
“我90分钟前在白宫，就是讨论这件事。白宫会提出一些条款——我不知道算不算反建议——但他们正在与参议院民主党人进行谈判，”约翰逊谈到谈判进展时表示。
“我们将看看民主党如何回应，”他补充道，但未透露任何细节。
在亚历克斯·普雷蒂不幸身亡后，国会就争议性极强的移民执法策略问题开启了谈判窗口，这是立法者罕见但严肃的机会，有望在这个困扰议员数十年的问题上找到折中方案。但经过两周充满紧张气氛的谈判、停滞不前的进展和互相指责后，双方似乎都固执己见，退回了对该问题长期持有的立场。
白宫曾推动共和党人与其他政府部门的资金分开谈判，单独处理国土安全部拨款，但保守派对总统能轻松承受部分停摆且政治代价不大充满信心，同时可以指责民主党对移民执法不够强硬。
“我明确表示，我不会支持任何我认为损害执法部门的事情，”密苏里州共和党参议员乔希·霍利近日在国会山对记者表示。
俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺则表示：“他们（民主党）可以选择接受国土安全部拨款法案，或者关闭联邦紧急事务管理局、海岸警卫队、运输安全管理局和美国特勤局。这取决于他们。”
“我不会提供任何东西，这就是我的立场，”他补充道。
许多民主党人最初将共和党人对美国移民海关执法局（ICE）策略的担忧解读为默许政府在全国主要城市加大驱逐力度可能过于激进。
该党许多人认为，普雷蒂和蕾妮·妮可·古德在明尼阿波利斯被联邦特工致死的事件是一个转折点，需要迫使美国海关和边境保护局进行重大改革，尽管这可能导致又一次长期停摆——就在历史性停摆仅数月后，政府几乎未从行政部门获得任何让步。
“国土安全部部长诺姆绝不允许一群未经训练的官员——我用这个词比较宽松——恐吓我们的社区，”内华达州民主党参议员杰基·罗森表示。
与白宫的谈判仍在继续。总统的亲密盟友、俄克拉荷马州参议员马克韦恩·穆林周三晚间告诉记者，共和党领导人已向民主党提供了一项为期四周的继续决议（CR），以维持谈判。
然而，参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默表示，他的成员不太可能支持即使是短期的拨款法案以维持机构运作，因为进展甚微。
“距离国土安全部停摆仅剩3天，共和党人尚未认真对待解决控制ICE暴力的问题。民主党不会支持延长现状的继续决议，”舒默周三在X平台（原推特）上发文称。
共和党领导人暗示，如果无法达成维持国土安全部资金的协议，他们可能会在周四让议员们提前开始预定的一周休会，让资金到期。
多数党领袖约翰·图恩试图维持谈判正朝着正确方向发展的说法。但党内更多人持怀疑态度，指责对手利用资金斗争向其自由派支持者展示他们在对抗特朗普的驱逐行动。
“他们在叫嚣要让政府停摆，”众议院多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯周二对记者表示，而另一位共和党高层议员丽莎·麦克莱因则表示，她“对民主党人感到愤怒，他们如此急于满足激进分子的要求，宁愿关闭联邦紧急事务管理局、运输安全管理局甚至海岸警卫队。”
即使领导人与白宫能够达成妥协，由于特朗普移民执法政策的极端争议性，两党是否会完全接受仍不明朗。
“如果他们达成协议，民主党和共和党都很难投票支持，”路易斯安那州参议员约翰·肯尼迪表示，“我认为，如果今天就给舒默他想要的一切，他也无法获得民主党人的支持，而共和党人会要求打击庇护城市。”
Republicans urge Trump to hold firm against Democrats’ DHS demands as clock ticks toward shutdown

Republicans’ warning for President Donald Trump is growing louder with the Department of Homeland Security set to shut down in just days: Don’t feel public pressure to relent on an issue central to his campaign.
Even as the White House has engaged with Democrats over reforms to DHS, a growing chorus of members have urged Trump and his team to play hardball and instead fight for GOP priorities, like cracking down on so-called sanctuary cities in exchange for any Democratic demands on federal immigration enforcement.
One such appeal came from Missouri Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt, who golfed and watched the Superbowl with the president over the weekend. Schmitt’s view was the president didn’t need to yield to the other party’s demands, even with that critical funding deadline bearing down on Capitol Hill.
“We should not be, in any way, shape or form kneecapping ICE,” Schmitt told CNN. “President Trump ran on this issue. So again, I think this is a home game for us, and if the Democrats want to continue down this road, it’s just a loser for them.”
Bolstering Republicans’ resolve if that Trump’s signature policy bill last summer injected DHS with billions for immigration enforcement – enough, they argue, to cover operations for months, if not years, to come. The impact of a shutdown instead would be felt primarily by other program like FEMA and TSA — something they say would make it harder for Democrats to defend their position in a prolonged stalemate.
“I don’t know why we are entertaining policy initiatives on funding bills. If you want to have a debate and they want to put forth this stupid 20-point plan in legislation, let’s have the debate. They’ll lose,” Schmitt challenged. (Democrats have sent the White House a series of demands from requiring the use of body cameras for agents to reining in roving patrols.)
Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters Wednesday evening that the White House plans to soon send over new details to Democrats in their ongoing negotiations but it remains unclear if a deal can come together before funding for DHS expires Friday.
“I was at the White House 90 minutes ago, talking about that very thing. The White House is sending over a few terms — I don’t know if you’d call it a counteroffer — but they’re in negotiations with Senate Democrats,” Johnson said about the status of the talks.
“We’ll see how the Democrats receive that,” he said, though did not offer any details.
After the death of Alex Pretti, the window for a negotiation over the contentious and thorny issue of immigration enforcement tactics appeared to open in Congress, a rare but serious opportunity for lawmakers to find a middle ground on an issue that has befuddled lawmakers for decades. But after two weeks of fraught talks, stalled negotiations and public blaming, both sides appear to be recalcitrant, retreating to their long-held views on the issue.
The White House had pushed Republicans to fund the rest of the government while negotiating DHS funding separately, but conservatives are newly emboldened that the president can easily weather a partial shutdown with little political cost while blaming Democrats for being soft on immigration enforcement.
“I’ve made clear, I’m not gonna support anything that I think is detrimental to law enforcement,” Sen. Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, recently told reporters on Capitol Hill.
Sen. Bernie Moreno said, in his view, “they [Democrats] can take the DHS appropriations bill or they can shut down FEMA, Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service and CISA. That’s up to them.”
“I wouldn’t offer anything. That’s my point of view,” the Ohio Republican added.

Many Democrats, meanwhile, initially interpreted GOP comments about concerns over ICE tactics as a tacit recognition that the administration may have gone too far in its efforts to ramp up deportations in major cities around the country.
And many in the party see the death of Pretti and Renee Nicole Good at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis as a moment of reckoning requiring them to force significant reforms to US Customs and Immigration Enforcement, even if it risks another prolonged shutdown just months after a historic shutdown yielded little in terms of concessions from the administration.
“It’s really important that Secretary Noem not allow a band of untrained officers – I’m gonna use that term loosely – to terrorize our communities,” Sen. Jacky Rosen, a Democrat from Nevada, said.
Negotiations with the White House are ongoing. Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, a close ally of the president’s, told reporters Wednesday night that GOP leaders had offered Democrats a four-week continuing resolution to keep talks going.
However, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is signaling his members are unlikely to back even a short-term spending bill to fund the agency while talks continue because such little progress has been made.
“We’re 3 days away from a DHS shutdown and Republicans have not gotten serious about negotiating a solution that reins in ICE and stops the violence. Democrats will not support a CR to extend the status quo,” Schumer posted on X Wednesday.
Republican leaders have suggested they may send members home Thursday for a regularly scheduled week-long recess if a deal to keep DHS funded remains too far out of reach, leaving funds to lapse.
Majority Leader John Thune, for his part, has tried for to maintain the talks are moving in the right direction. But plenty more in his party are skeptical, accusing their opponents of using the funding fight to demonstrate to their liberal base that they’re standing up to Trump’s deportation raids.
“They’re clamoring for a government shutdown,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise told reporters Tuesday, while another top Republican, Rep. Lisa McClain, said she’s “furious with the Democrats who are so desperate to satisfy their activist base that they would rather shut down FEMA, TSA and even the Coast Guard.”
Even if leaders and the White House were able to get to reach a compromise,it’s not clear that either party would fully accept it given just how polarizing the issue of Trump’s immigration enforcement has become.
“If they make a deal, it’s going to be hard to get the Democrats and the Republicans to vote for it,” Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy said. “I think if you gave Chuck everything he wanted today, he couldn’t deliver the votes from Dems and the Republicans are gonna want a crackdown on sanctuary cities.”
