参议院共和党人指责参议院民主党人在再次阻止重新开放国土安全部（DHS）的努力后，试图“逐步瓦解”该部门。
在部分政府停摆的第27天，僵局几乎没有任何变化，沟通中断成为谈判可能出现转机时的主要问题。
纽约州民主党参议员、参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默和他的党团仍在要求对移民和海关执法局（ICE）进行严格改革，而参议院共和党人则坚决反对他们的核心诉求。

一整天，参议院民主党人都在试图提出单独的法案，为国土安全部的各个部分提供资金。情绪激动的参议院多数党督导约翰·巴拉萨（怀俄明州共和党人）指责参议院民主党人在国土安全部本应发挥作用的时刻试图将其瓦解，因为伊朗战争引发了美国境内潜伏细胞的报复威胁。
“而就在我们的国土正遭受攻击、所有警示灯都闪着红灯的时候，他们却想把保护美国人民的国土安全部——我们政府的综合部门——一点点拆毁，因为他们想站在非法移民罪犯一边。”巴拉萨说道。
舒默宣布，参议院民主党人将继续提供零碎的资金法案，以重新开放该部门的某些部分，比如运输安全管理局（TSA）和联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA），同时继续谈判。
双方在寻求妥协方面相距甚远，正如许多议员在重新开放国土安全部的持续斗争中所承认的那样，但民主党人认为，鉴于移民行动曾由唐纳德·特朗普总统的“一大份漂亮法案”提供资金，削减ICE的资金可能是共和党人可以接受的选择。

“我们不必把这种分歧捆绑起来，把机场的民众和美国公民当作人质。”舒默说。
阿拉巴马州共和党参议员凯蒂·布里特认为，这样做实际上会让国会回到“削减警察经费”的时代，并坚决反对参议院民主党人提出的任何削减提案。
华盛顿州民主党参议员帕蒂·默里提出了一项不含ICE或海关与边境保护局资金的国土安全部拨款法案，她告诉福克斯新闻数字版，这些批评“不属实”。
“它（ICE）是由‘一大份漂亮法案’资助的，我们已经告诉他们，除非对ICE进行改革，否则他们不会资助ICE。”默里说，“我们已经说得很清楚了。我们提出了这个要求，而他们却假装完全无视。”

南达科他州共和党人、参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩反驳说，共和党人曾多次试图通过短期两周期的继续决议（CR）为该部门提供临时资金，但均被民主党人阻挠。
“我认为民主党领袖清楚，我们多次试图（临时）为所有部门提供资金，以允许ICE预算的谈判继续进行。”图恩说。
尽管双方都做了几次尝试，要么分块资助该机构，要么暂时重新开放，但每次都被阻挠。

内华达州民主党参议员杰克·罗森试图推动对运输安全管理局（TSA）的单独拨款法案进行投票，而此时全国各地机场的安检队伍不断延长，安检人员却无薪工作。她告诉福克斯新闻数字版，共和党人阻挠她的法案的举动表明他们“不在乎他们的选民、出行民众以及那些不在这场讨论或争论中的工作人员”。
“这说明共和党人的优先事项只是为了唐纳德·特朗普，而不是为了其他人。”罗森说。

Dems vote to keep DHS closed despite airport chaos, Iranian sleeper cell threat
Barrasso says Democrats want to ‘peel apart, piece by piece’ DHS while ‘homeland is under attack’

Senate Republicans are accusing Senate Democrats of trying to rip apart the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) piece by piece after again blocking a bid to reopen the agency.
Little has changed in the stalemate over the last 27 days of the partial shutdown, and communication breakdowns are dominating what could be opportunities for negotiations.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus are still demanding stringent reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while Senate Republicans are dug in against their top demands.

Throughout the day, Senate Democrats tried to offer individual bills to fund pieces and parts of DHS. A fired-up Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., accused Senate Democrats of trying to rip the agency apart at a moment it was designed for, as the war in Iran has spurred threats of retaliation in the U.S. by sleeper cells.
“And that’s at a time when our homeland is under attack, all warning lights are flashing red, and they want to peel apart, piece by piece, the Department of Homeland Security, the comprehensive department of our government to protect the American people, because they want to stand with illegal immigrant criminals,” Barrasso said.
Schumer declared that Senate Democrats would continue to provide piecemeal funding bills to reopen certain portions of the agency, like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), while negotiations continued.
Both sides are far apart from finding a compromise, as many lawmakers have acknowledged in the ongoing fight to reopen the agency, but Democrats believe that carving out ICE funding could be a palatable option for Republicans, given that immigration operations were funded with President Donald Trump’s “One
Big, Beautiful Bill.”

“We don’t have to tie that disagreement up and use people at the airports and American citizens as hostages,” Schumer said.
Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., argued that doing so would effectively return Congress to the “defund the police” era and drew a sharp red line against any kind of carveout proposal from Senate Democrats.
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who has offered a DHS funding bill without ICE or Customs and Border Patrol, told Fox News Digital that criticism was “not true.”
“It was funded by the [‘One Big, Beautiful Bill,’] and we have told them they’re not going to fund ICE until there are reforms to ICE,” Murray said. “We have made that clear. We put them out there, and they are pretending to just ignore that.”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., shot back that Republicans have tried on several occasions to temporarily fund the agency with short-term, two-week continuing resolutions (CRs) that Democrats have blocked.
“I assume the Democrat leader is aware of the fact that we have tried repeatedly to [fund everything temporarily] to allow the negotiations over the ICE budget to continue,” Thune said.
While several attempts from both sides were made to either fund the agency in chunks or reopen it temporarily, each was blocked.

Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., who tried to force a vote on a standalone funding bill for TSA as lines at airports around the country swell while security agents go without pay, told Fox News Digital that Republicans’ move to block her bill showed they “don’t care about their constituents, the traveling public, and the folks who work there who are not part of this discussion or this argument.”
“It says the Republican priorities are just for Donald Trump and no one else,” Rosen said.
