参议院将就国土安全部拨款进行投票,国会未就移民和海关执法局改革达成协议

华盛顿—— 随着部分政府停摆进入第11天,参议院定于周二就国土安全部的拨款进行程序性投票。

但随着议员们在一周休会后返回华盛顿,却未就联邦移民机构改革达成协议,僵局的迅速结束似乎遥不可及。

特朗普总统定于周二晚上发表国情咨文演讲。参议院的程序性投票定于下午5点举行。

国会未能就国土安全部的拨款达成协议,导致该部门资金中断。国土安全部还负责管理联邦紧急事务管理局、运输安全管理局和海岸警卫队。主要症结在于移民和海关执法局(ICE)以及海关和边境保护局(CBP)。民主党人承诺,除非这些机构受到约束,否则将扣留资金。

国会领导人曾对谈判人员在议员休会期间能够达成协议抱有希望。双方最近几天一直在交换提案,民主党人上周提出了最新的反建议。但一名白宫官员表示,在收到该提议后,双方仍然分歧很大。

共和党人指出,在本月早些时候联邦特工在明尼阿波利斯枪杀亚历克斯·普雷蒂和蕾妮·古德后,政府采取了降温措施,包括最近终止移民打击行动。但民主党人仍然坚决要求进行更广泛的改革。

众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯周日重申了民主党的要求,包括要求逮捕时获得司法令状、独立调查,并禁止移民特工进入敏感地点。这位纽约民主党人表示:“我们认为,此刻应该用来对ICE进行大胆、变革性且有意义的重大改革。”

杰弗里斯在《福克斯新闻周日》节目中表示:“这些是已经提出的基本、常识性要求,不幸的是,政府没有大幅改革ICE,反而决定关闭联邦紧急事务管理局、运输安全管理局和海岸警卫队。”

移民和海关执法局(ICE)和海关与边境保护局(CBP)去年分别获得了数千亿美元的资金,这意味着停摆对移民执法的影响微乎其微。但资金中断将开始影响国土安全部的其他部门,联邦紧急事务管理局、运输安全管理局和海岸警卫队的工作人员(其中大多数被视为关键人员,在停摆期间继续工作)预计本周晚些时候只能领取部分薪水。

周末,停摆的影响似乎在机场开始更广泛地显现。国土安全部宣布将暂停运输安全管理局(TSA)的快速检查服务(PreCheck),随后又改变了这一决定。不过,国土安全部表示,全球入境计划(Global Entry)以及对国会议员的礼遇护送服务目前已暂停。

纽约州民主党参议员、参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默周日对这些举措作出回应,称其为“欺凌策略”。

舒默在一份声明中表示:“特朗普政府选择给公众带来痛苦,而不是采取常识性的ICE改革。”

周二参议院的程序性投票是在本月早些时候国土安全部拨款截止日期前不久,参议院未能推进相同法案之后进行的。除宾夕法尼亚州参议员约翰·费特曼外,所有民主党人都反对推进该法案,而推进该法案至少需要七名民主党人的支持。

Senate to vote on DHS funding as Congress returns without a deal on ICE reforms

February 24, 2026 / 9:53 AM EST / CBS News

Washington — The Senate is set to take procedural vote Tuesday on funding for the Department of Homeland Security as a partial government shutdown stretches into an 11th day.

But a swift end to the impasse appears out of reach as lawmakers return to Washington following a weeklong recess without a deal to reform federal immigration agencies.

President Trump is set to deliver the State of the Union address Tuesday evening. The Senate’s procedural vote is set for 5 p.m.

Congress’ failure to reach an agreement on how to fund DHS prompted a funding lapse for the department, which also oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard. The major sticking point has been over Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. Democrats have pledged to withhold funds unless they are reined in.

Congressional leaders had appeared hopeful that negotiators could reach a deal while lawmakers were away on recess. The two sides have been trading proposals in recent days, with the latest counteroffer coming from Democrats last week. But a White House official said after receiving the offer that the parties remained far apart.

Republicans have pointed to the administration’s efforts to turn down the temperature following the deadly shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal agents in Minneapolis last month, including the recent move to bring the immigration crackdown to an end. But Democrats have remained adamant about the need for broader reforms.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries reiterated Democrats’ demands on Sunday, including requiring judicial warrants for arrests, independent investigations and barring immigration agents from entering sensitive locations. The New York Democrat said “we believe that this moment should be used to make dramatic changes to ICE that are bold, that are transformational and that are meaningful.”

“These are basic, commonsense demands that have been laid out, and unfortunately, rather than dramatically reform ICE, the administration has decided to shut down FEMA, shut down the TSA and shut down the Coast Guard,” Jeffries said on “Fox News Sunday.”

ICE and CBP received tens of billions of dollars in separate funding last year, meaning the shutdown is having minimal impact on immigration enforcement. But the funding lapse is set to begin impacting other parts of DHS, with FEMA and TSA workers and the Coast Guard — most of whom are deemed essential and have continued to work during the shutdown — expected to receive only a partial paycheck later this week.

Over the weekend, the effects of the shutdown seemed poised to be felt more broadly at airports. The department announced it would suspend TSA PreCheck, before reversing course. Still, Global Entry and courtesy escorts for members of Congress are on pause for the time being, DHS said.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, responded to the moves Sunday, calling them “bullying tactics.”

“The Trump administration is choosing to inflict pain on the public instead of adopting common-sense ICE reforms,” Schumer said in a statement.

The procedural vote in the Senate on Tuesday comes after the chamber failed to advance the same measure shortly before the DHS funding deadline earlier this month. All but one Democrat — Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania — opposed moving forward with the bill, while support from at least seven Democrats would be needed to move forward.
