如果国会在本周五结束前未能为国土安全部（DHS）提供资金，该部门可能会陷入部分政府停摆的困境。但几乎所有国土安全部员工仍将继续工作——即使许多人要等到停摆结束后才能获得报酬——公众可能不会察觉到太大变化。
国土安全部是2026财年（至9月30日）剩余时间里唯一仍未获得资金的联邦机构。自创纪录的长时间停摆于11月中旬结束以来，议员们已通过了一系列为政府其他部门提供资金的法案。
1月底批准的最新一揽子计划仅为国土安全部提供了两周资金，以便国会有更多时间协商该机构移民执法行动的改革——这是参议院民主党人在1月联邦移民局特工在明尼阿波利斯市开枪打死两名美国公民后提出的要求。
白宫周三晚间提出了一项提议，民主党人正在审议。但目前尚不清楚他们是否能在国土安全部资金到期前达成协议。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（John Thune）周三表示，需要另一项短期拨款法案（即持续决议案）来维持国土安全部关键职能的运作。参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）尚未表明民主党将如何行动。
总统唐纳德·特朗普对政府停摆并不陌生。他在第一任期内也曾主持过一次停摆，持续了35天，直到去年的43天僵局才成为新的纪录。
以下是我们对影响国土安全部的部分政府停摆的了解：
围绕国土安全部资金的争议是什么？
上个月，在明尼阿波利斯市抗议活动中，国土安全部移民局特工开枪打死亚历克斯·普雷蒂（Alex Pretti）和蕾妮·妮可·古德（Renee Nicole Good），引发了公众的广泛抗议，并促使参议院民主党人要求改革，作为他们支持为其他联邦部门提供资金一揽子计划的条件。
民主党人表示，他们希望限制流动巡逻、收紧搜查和逮捕令的范围、加强武力使用政策，并要求美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）特工佩戴随身摄像机并摘下口罩。共和党人几乎抵制了所有这些变革，一些人甚至要求民主党让步，例如打击所谓的“庇护城市”。

停摆对移民和海关执法局（ICE）及边境保护局（CBP）意味着什么？
多名国会助手表示，即使停摆，民主党人实际上可能没有太多权力限制移民和海关执法局（ICE）及美国海关和边境保护局（CBP）的活动。
根据该机构9月制定的停摆计划（覆盖停摆前五天），国土安全部约27.2万名员工中，超过90%将在资金短缺期间继续工作。其中，超过93%的ICE和CBP员工将留岗。
根据停摆计划，约4.45万名员工将通过其他拨款继续获得工资。然而，国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）去年秋天表示，包括CBP、ICE和其他部门在内的7万名执法人员将能拿到工资。
国土安全部还有其他资源可动用，包括去年夏天《美丽法案》（One Big Beautiful Bill Act）提供的1650亿美元注资，其中仅ICE就获得750亿美元，CBP获得640亿美元。
总统的标志性政策法案赋予诺姆广泛的权力，可以调动资金以维持机构运作。
资金中断将如何影响国土安全部下的其他机构？
国土安全部是一个庞大的机构，不仅包括ICE和CBP，还包括联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）、运输安全管理局（TSA）、海岸警卫队、特勤局和其他部门。
该机构的大部分员工专注于保护生命和财产的活动，因此被视为“必要”工作。将继续进行的活动包括执法行动（包括与移民和毒品走私相关的行动）、口岸的乘客和货物检查、救灾基金活动以及特勤局职能。
两党政策中心经济政策项目主任雷切尔·斯奈德曼（Rachel Snyderman）表示：“由于我们知道目前大多数员工将被要求继续工作，因此影响可能会很小。但随着停摆持续时间的延长，员工流失问题就会开始显现。”
据该中心称，联邦紧急事务管理局的救灾基金似乎资金充足，尽管由于去年秋天的停摆，月度报告仍有滞后。该机构估计，今年年初该基金约有310亿美元，在没有重大灾害的情况下，通常每月支出5亿至10亿美元。
不过，根据停摆持续时间的不同，美国人可能会注意到机场安检口排队时间变长，因为运输安全管理局（TSA）员工将不得不无薪工作。在过去的停摆中，随着时间的推移，员工缺勤率增加，航班拥堵问题就会出现。
美国国税局（IRS）或其他政府机构会受到影响吗？
包括国家公园和美国国税局在内的联邦政府其他所有部门都将继续开放，因为它们已获得本财年剩余时间的资金。
值得注意的是，这也包括空中交通管制员（隶属于美国运输部联邦航空管理局）。通常，停摆期间的一个主要痛点是航班因管制员人员短缺而延误。但如果国土安全部资金在周五之后失效，这一问题不会出现。

A partial government shutdown is about to hit the Department of Homeland Security. Here’s what that means

The Department of Homeland Security could be ensnared by a partial government shutdown if Congress does not fund the agency by the end of Friday. But nearly all DHS workers would remain on the job — even if many wouldn’t get paid until the lapse ends — and the public probably wouldn’t notice much of a change.
DHS is the last federal agency lacking funding for the remainder of fiscal year 2026, which runs through September 30. Since the record-long shutdown ended in mid-November, lawmakers have passed a series of spending bills for the rest of the government.
The most recent package, approved at the end of January, only funded DHS for two weeks to give Congress more time to negotiate reforms in the agency’s immigration enforcement operations — a demand by Senate Democrats after federal immigration agents fatally shot two US citizens in Minneapolis in January.
The White House made an offer Wednesday night, which Democrats are reviewing. But it’s unclear if they can hammer out a deal before DHS’ funding expires.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Wednesday that another short-term funding bill, known as a continuing resolution, would be needed to keep critical parts of DHS operational. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer hasn’t indicated how Democrats will proceed.
President Donald Trump is no stranger to government shutdowns. He also presided over one in his first term, which lasted 35 days and had been the longest on record until last year’s 43-day impasse.
Here’s what we know about a partial government shutdown affecting DHS:
What is the debate around funding DHS?
The shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good by DHS immigration agents during protests in Minneapolis last month sparked widespread public outcry and prompted Senate Democrats to demand reforms in exchange for their support of a package to fund other federal departments.
The Democrats have said they want to restrict roving patrols, tighten parameters around warrants for searches and arrests, toughen use-of-force policies and require US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to wear body cameras and remove their masks. Republicans have resisted nearly all of those changes, and some have pushed for concessions from Democrats, like cracking down on so-called sanctuary cities.

What would a shutdown mean for ICE and CBP?
Democrats may not have much power to actually restrict ICE and US Customs and Border Protection activities in the event of a shutdown. Even in a shutdown, ICE would still continue to operate its main functions, multiple congressional aides have contended.
Overall, more than 90% of DHS’ 272,000 employees would continue working during a lapse, according to the agency’s September shutdown plan covering the first five days of an impasse. More than 93% of ICE and CBP workers would remain on the job.
Only about 44,500 staffers would continue to be paid through other appropriations, according to the shutdown plan. However, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said last fall that 70,000 law enforcement personnel, including in CBP, ICE and other divisions, would receive their paychecks.
DHS has other resources to draw on, including a $165 billion infusion from last summer’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which funneled $75 billion to ICE, alone, and $64 billion to CBP.
The president’s signature policy bill gives Noem wide-ranging power to move money around to carry out the agency’s operations.
How would a lapse in funding affect other agencies under DHS?
DHS is a sprawling agency that includes not only ICE and CBP, but also the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Transportation Security Administration, Coast Guard, Secret Service and other divisions.
Much of the agency’s workforce is focused on activities that protect life and property and is therefore considered essential. Activities that would continue include law enforcement operations, including those related to immigration and drug trafficking; passenger processing and cargo inspections at ports of entry; Disaster Relief Fund activities; and Secret Service functions.
“Because we know that the majority of staff right now would be required to work, it’s likely that the impacts would be minimally felt,” said Rachel Snyderman, managing director of the economic policy program at the Bipartisan Policy Center. “But as the duration of the shutdown continues, that’s where you start to see some issues with staff attrition.”
FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund also appears to be well-funded, though monthly reports are still lagging because of the fall shutdown, according to the center. It estimates that the fund contained nearly $31 billion at the start of the year, and the agency typically spends $500 million to $1 billion a month — barring a major disaster.
However, depending on the length of the shutdown, Americans may notice longer lines at airport security checkpoints since TSA workers would have to work without pay. This has happened during prior impasses as employee absences increase as shutdowns drag on.
Would the IRS or other government agencies be affected?
All other areas of the federal government, including national parks and the Internal Revenue Service, would remain open since they have been funded for the rest of the fiscal year.
Notably, that includes air traffic controllers, who are part of the Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration. Typically, a major pain point during a shutdown is the snarling of flights due to staffing issues among controllers. But that wouldn’t be an issue if funding for DHS lapses after Friday.
