参议院接近达成协议以结束国土安全部停摆

Washington — 参议院正接近达成一项协议,以资助国土安全部(DHS)的大部分预算,并结束已持续六周、扰乱航空旅行的部分政府停摆。

周一晚间,一群参议院共和党人在白宫与特朗普总统举行了会面,随后返回国会大厦,对可能达成的协议持乐观态度。当被记者问及共和党人是否有解决方案时,阿拉巴马州参议员凯蒂·布里特表示:“我们有。”

参议员们在周一晚间表示,他们的目标是敲定立法文本,并在本周晚些时候努力解决僵局。

缅因州独立参议员安格斯·金周一晚间对记者表示:“我们正在等待书面材料,以确切了解提案内容。因此,我希望我们能够度过这一难关,为这些机构提供资金。”

即将达成的协议将包括为国土安全部监督的众多机构提供资金,包括运输安全管理局(TSA)、联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)和海岸警卫队,但不包括移民和海关执法局(ICE)的驱逐行动资金。随后,参议院共和党人将通过预算协调程序,批准这些ICE资金以及被称为《SAVE美国法案》的选举立法内容。

预算协调程序绕过了参议院推进立法通常所需的60票门槛,使执政党能够在不跨党派合作的情况下批准一揽子计划。但这一策略存在局限性,且要求法案的组成部分具有直接的预算影响。

这一协调方案将是共和党人附加其他优先事项的机会,此前他们曾在去年使用这一程序批准了《One Big Beautiful Bill法案》。但《SAVE美国法案》中有多少内容符合严格的预算规则,还有待观察。

国土安全部自2月14日起一直处于停摆状态。民主党人拒绝在联邦特工1月份在明尼阿波利斯发生两起致命枪击事件后,不进行ICE改革就为该机构提供资金。近几周,参议院民主党人与白宫交换了提案,一个两党参议员小组上周两次与边境问题负责人汤姆·霍曼会面,以增加结束僵局的压力。

然而,在周一总统对国土安全部资金谈判制造阻碍——要求共和党人避免达成协议——之后,出现了明显的突破。他认为立法者应该将国土安全部资金与《SAVE美国法案》挂钩。总统几周来一直向立法者施压,要求他们批准这项选举法案,该法案要求选民登记时提供公民身份证明,并在投票时出示照片身份证。民主党人强烈反对该法案。

但在白宫会面后——蒙大拿州参议员史蒂夫·戴恩斯、俄亥俄州参议员伯尼·莫雷诺、南卡罗来纳州参议员林赛·格雷厄姆和布里特参加了此次会面——一条可行的前进道路似乎出现了。

周一晚间离开国会大厦时,参议院最高拨款人、缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯表示,随着立法者围绕结束僵局的协议进行谈判,将有更多的讨论。

柯林斯说:“我更乐观地认为,到本周末我们将为国土安全部提供资金。”

Senate closes in on potential deal to end DHS shutdown

Updated on: March 24, 2026 / 9:05 AM EDT / CBS News

Washington — The Senate is closing in on a deal to fund the bulk of the Department of Homeland Security and end the partial government shutdown that has stretched six weeks and snarled air travel.

A group of Senate Republicans met with President Trump at the White House on Monday evening and returned to the Capitol optimistic about a possible deal. Asked by reporters if Republicans had a solution, Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama said, “We do.”

Senators said Monday night that they were aiming to finalize legislative text and work toward resolving the impasse later this week.

“We’re waiting to see something in writing to see exactly what the proposal is,” independent Sen. Angus King of Maine told reporters late Monday. “So I’m hopeful that we can get through this and fund these agencies.”

The emerging agreement would involve funding the many agencies that DHS oversees, including TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard, while leaving out funds for Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportation operations. Senate Republicans would then work to approve those ICE funds, along with elements of elections legislation known as the SAVE America Act, through the budget reconciliation process.

Budget reconciliation bypasses the 60-vote threshold typically required to advance legislation in the Senate, granting the party in power the ability to approve a package without working across the aisle. But the maneuver comes with limitations, and requires the bill’s components to have direct budgetary consequences.

The reconciliation package would be an opportunity for Republicans to tack on other priorities and comes after they used the process to approve the One Big Beautiful Bill Act last year. But how much of the election legislation complies with the strict budget rules remains to be seen.

DHS has been shut down since Feb. 14. Democrats have refused to fund the agency without reforms to ICE following two deadly shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis in January. Senate Democrats have been swapping proposals with the White House in recent weeks, and a bipartisan group of senators met twice last week with border czar Tom Homan amid increased pressure to end the stalemate.

The apparent breakthrough came after the president threw a wrench into talks over funding DHS on Monday when he demanded that Republicans refrain from making a deal. He argued that lawmakers should link DHS funding with the SAVE America Act. The president has put pressure on lawmakers for weeks to approve the elections bill, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast a ballot. Democrats strongly oppose the bill.

But after the meeting at the White House, which GOP Sens. Steve Daines of Montana, Bernie Moreno of Ohio, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Britt attended, a path forward appeared viable.

Leaving the Capitol Monday night, GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the top appropriator in the Senate, said there would be more discussions as lawmakers circle a deal to end the impasse.

“I’m more optimistic that by the end of the week we will fund the Department of Homeland Security,” Collins said.
