华盛顿 — 民主党领袖称，白宫提出的一项提案”不完整且不充分”，他们要求对特朗普总统的移民镇压政策实施新限制，并威胁要让国土安全部停摆。
参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默(Chuck Schumer)和众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯(Hakeem Jeffries)在周一晚间的声明中表示，白宫针对他们本周末提出的一系列要求的反建议”既没有细节也没有立法文本”，并且没有解决”美国人对ICE（移民与海关执法局）违法行为的担忧”。白宫提案未公开。

民主党发表声明之际，时间紧迫，新一轮部分政府停摆可能在周六开始。民主党提出的要求包括：司法令状要求、更好地识别国土安全部(DHS)官员、新的武力使用标准以及停止种族定性。他们表示，上个月明尼阿波利斯两名抗议者被联邦特工开枪打死的事件后，这些改变是必要的。
但共和党人将这些要求描述为”不切实际且不严肃”。
周一早些时候，参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩(John Thune)对民主党与白宫之间罕见的谈判表示乐观，称存在”进展”。
图恩表示，双方交换文件是个好迹象，”希望他们能在这里找到一些共同点”。
但就移民执法这一敏感问题达成协议将很困难，尤其是两党普通议员都对找到共同点持怀疑态度。
共和党人对民主党提出的要求表示反对，部分人还提出了自己的要求，包括加入一项要求美国人在登记投票前必须提供公民身份证明的立法，以及限制他们认为打击非法移民不力的城市。
许多对移民与海关执法局(ICE)强硬镇压感到愤怒的民主党人表示，在大幅缩减执法力度之前，他们不会为国土安全部资金投下任何一美元。
“在国土安全部资金法案推进之前，国土安全部需要进行重大改革，”杰弗里斯周一早些时候表示，”就这样，结束。”
特朗普总统同意将国土安全部资金法案从上周通过的一项大型支出法案中分离出来后，国会正试图重新谈判该法案。该方案仅将国土安全部资金维持在当前水平至2月13日，为两党讨论对ICE和其他联邦官员的新限制创造了短暂的行动窗口。
在1月24日明尼阿波利斯一名美国边境巡逻队军官枪杀ICU护士亚历克斯·普雷蒂(Alex Pretti)后，以及1月7日蕾妮·古德(Renee Good)被ICE特工枪杀后，民主党提出了对ICE和其他联邦执法机构的新限制要求。一些共和党人也认为需要新限制。
尽管特朗普同意将资金法案分离，但他尚未公开回应民主党提出的具体要求。
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特(Karoline Leavitt)上周末表示，特朗普政府愿意讨论民主党清单上的一些项目，但”其他项目似乎缺乏常识基础，对本政府而言不可接受”。
舒默和杰弗里斯表示，他们希望移民官员摘下口罩、出示身份证明并更好地与地方当局协调。他们还要求对联邦官员实施更严格的武力使用政策、拘留中心的法律保障，以及禁止使用随身摄像头追踪抗议者。
民主党还要求国会结束无差别逮捕、”改进令状程序和标准”，确保法律明确规定官员在没有司法令状的情况下不得进入私人财产，并要求在拘留人员前核实其非美国公民身份。
共和党人表示，他们支持要求国土安全部官员佩戴随身摄像头的规定——这一内容已包含在原始国土安全部法案中——但对民主党提出的其他许多要求表示反对。
“让ICE官员摘下口罩，我们不能这么做的原因是，这会使他们及其家人面临巨大危险，因为有人正在公开他们的信息并针对他们，”众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党人迈克·约翰逊(Mike Johnson)周一表示，”我们必须讨论合理且可行的事情。”
田纳西州参议员比尔·哈格蒂(Bill Hagerty)在《福克斯新闻周日》节目中称，民主党人”试图煽动激进左翼选民”。
“左翼已经完全走火入魔，他们威胁特工的安全和保障，使他们无法履行职责，”哈格蒂表示。
除了ICE和美国海关与边境保护局外，国土安全部法案还包括联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)和运输安全管理局(TSA)的资金。图恩上周表示，如果国土安全部停摆，”我们很有可能看到类似去年43天政府关闭时的更多旅行问题”。
两党议员都表示，他们可能会分离出ICE和边境巡逻队的资金，并在周五前通过其余部分。但图恩对这一想法持冷淡态度，称国会应该为整个国土安全部通过另一项短期延期，同时谈判可能的新限制。
“如果需要更多时间，希望民主党人能接受另一项延期，”图恩表示。
许多民主党人不太可能投票支持另一项延期。但共和党人如果对谈判抱有希望，可能会从两党议员中获得足够的支持票。
“球现在在共和党人那边，”杰弗里斯周一表示。
在周日美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)的《国情咨文》节目中，杰弗里斯称：”要么（共和党人）同意大幅改革ICE和其他移民执法机构的运作方式，使其行为与美国其他所有执法机构一致；要么他们明确决定关闭海岸警卫队、关闭FEMA和关闭TSA，这将非常不幸。”
Democrats reject latest White House offer on ICE reforms with Homeland Security funding hanging in the balance
February 10, 2026 / 6:54 AM EST / CBS/AP
Washington — Democratic leaders say a proposal from the White House is “incomplete and insufficient” as they demand new restrictions on President Trump’s immigration crackdown and threaten a shutdown of the Homeland Security Department.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement late Monday that a White House counterproposal to the list of demands they transmitted over the weekend “included neither details nor legislative text” and doesn’t address “the concerns Americans have about ICE’s lawless conduct.” The White House proposal wasn’t released publicly.

The Democrats’ statement comes with time running short, with another partial government shutdown threatening to begin Saturday. Among the Democrats’ demands are a requirement for judicial warrants, better identification of DHS officers, new use-of-force standards and a stop to racial profiling. They say such changes are necessary after two protesters were fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis last month.
But Republicans depict the demands as “unrealistic and unserious.”
Earlier Monday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., had expressed optimism about the rare negotiations between Democrats and the White House, saying there was “forward progress.”
Thune said it was a good sign that the two sides were trading papers, and “hopefully they can find some common ground here.”
But coming to an agreement on the charged issue of immigration enforcement will be difficult, especially with rank-and-file lawmakers in both parties skeptical about finding common ground.
Republicans have balked at the Democrats’ requests and some have demands of their own, including the addition of legislation that would require proof of citizenship before Americans can register to vote and restrictions on cities they say don’t do enough to crack down on illegal immigration.
And many Democrats who are furious about Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s aggressive crackdown have said they won’t vote for another penny of Homeland Security funding until enforcement is radically scaled back.
“Dramatic changes are needed at the Department of Homeland Security before a DHS funding bill moves forward,” Jeffries said earlier Monday. “Period. Full stop.”
Congress is trying to renegotiate the DHS spending bill after Mr. Trump agreed to a Democratic request that it be separated out from a larger spending measure that became law last week. That package extended Homeland Security funding at current levels only through Feb. 13, creating a brief window for action as the two parties discuss new restrictions on ICE and other federal officers.
Democrats made the demands for new restrictions on ICE and other federal law enforcement after ICU nurse Alex Pretti was shot and killed by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis on Jan. 24, and some Republicans suggested that new restrictions were necessary. Renee Good was shot by ICE agents on Jan. 7.
While he agreed to separate the funding, Mr. Trump hasn’t publicly responded to the Democrats’ specific demands.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said late last week that the Trump administration is willing to discuss some items on the Democrats’ list but “others don’t seem like they are grounded in any common sense, and they are nonstarters for this administration.”
Schumer and Jeffries have said they want immigration officers to remove their masks, to show identification and to better coordinate with local authorities. They have also demanded a stricter use-of-force policy for the federal officers, legal safeguards at detention centers and a prohibition on tracking protesters with body-worn cameras.
Among other demands, Democrats say Congress should end indiscriminate arrests, “improve warrant procedures and standards,” ensure the law is clear that officers cannot enter private property without a judicial warrant and require that it’s verified that the person is not a U.S. citizen before a person can be detained.
Republicans have said they support the requirement for DHS officers to have body-worn cameras – language that was in the original DHS bill – but have balked at many of the other Democratic asks.
“Taking the masks off ICE officers and agents, the reason we can’t do that is that it would subject them to great harm, their families at great risk because people are doxing them and targeting them,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Monday. “We’ve got to talk about things that are reasonable and achievable.”
Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty said on “Fox News Sunday” that Democrats are “trying to motivate a radical left base.”
“The left has gone completely overboard, and they’re threatening the safety and security of our agents so they cannot do their job,” Hagerty said.
In addition to ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the homeland security bill includes funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Transportation Security Administration. If DHS shuts down, Thune said last week, “there’s a very good chance we could see more travel problems” similar to the 43-day government closure last year.
Lawmakers in both parties have suggested they could separate out funding for ICE and Border Patrol and pass the rest of it by Friday. But Thune has been cool to that idea, saying instead that Congress should pass another short-term extension for all of DHS while they negotiate the possible new restrictions.
“If there’s additional time that’s needed, then hopefully Democrats would be amenable to another extension,” Thune said.
Many Democrats are unlikely to vote for another extension. But Republicans could potentially win enough votes in both chambers from Democrats if they feel hopeful about negotiations.
“The ball is in the Republicans’ court,” Jeffries said Monday.
On CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, Jeffries said, “Either (Republicans are) going to agree to dramatically reform the way in which ICE and other immigration enforcement agencies are conducting themselves so that they’re behaving like every other law enforcement agency in the country, or they’re making the explicit decision to shut down the Coast Guard, shut down FEMA and shut down TSA, and that would be very unfortunate.”
