重启美国国土安全部（DHS）的最新努力在国会山陷入停滞，双方的挫败感如此强烈，以至于两党部分普通议员已私下自行会面，试图挽救谈判。
就在一天前，参议院共和党领袖认为他们找到了一项妥协方案，可在本周末前重新开放关闭的国土安全部。但该计划——即暂停为联邦移民执法提供资金，而不附带任何政策变更——已在两党内部遭遇冷遇，令唐纳德·特朗普总统和共和党领袖在国会将于两天后休会前往两周复活节和逾越节假期前，找不到明确的途径打破近40天的僵局。
由于民主党同样拒绝该策略，参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（John Thune）罕见地表现出沮丧，向记者表示谈判“陷入循环”——这表明僵局可能会持续更久。
与此同时，一名资深参议院谈判代表、来自阿拉巴马州的共和党参议员凯蒂·布里特（Katie Britt）周三上午与几名众议院民主党温和派议员秘密会面，试图挽救谈判并确保两党继续参与达成协议，据多位知情人士透露。
布里特在离开会议时告诉记者，谈判代表“必须”在本周内达成协议，并补充道：“桌面上已有协议（方案）。”
另一位知情人士表示，这直接源于议员们因国内对部门关闭的强烈压力，特别是全国机场出现数小时的安全检查长队。
“我们不能一走了之。我们必须做点什么，必须让机场恢复运营，”该人士说道。
尽管民主党高层坚持认为选民会因关闭事件指责共和党，但一名资深众议院民主党助手暗示情况可能很快发生变化：“这种状况不能再持续下去，否则美国民众也会开始指责民主党。”
距离议员们计划离开华盛顿前往复活节和逾越节休会仅剩两天，图恩周三表示他仍认为自己的策略是达成协议的最佳途径。但他必须说服大量怀疑者，包括其党内成员。保守派对削减部分移民和海关执法局（ICE）行动预算的提议表示反对，而特朗普也明显拒绝完全支持该计划。
民主党在周三上午晚些时候正式拒绝了该计划，要求进行与最初谈判中阻碍进程的相同ICE改革——共和党参议院表示，若民主党不同意实际资助ICE，这些改革不在谈判桌上。
“我们的提议是合理且出于善意的，包含了民主党一直提出的部分诉求，”舒默（Schumer）在参议院发言时宣布了两党民主党领袖联合提出的反建议。
“我们从第一天起就在讨论ICE改革。这些并非新要求，”舒默补充道。
据熟悉反建议的消息人士透露，该党要求对官员身份识别、口罩佩戴、司法令状、随身摄像头资金、培训标准以及保护学校、教堂等敏感场所免受移民执法活动影响等政策进行改革。
白宫上周在全面资助国土安全部（包括移民执法行动）的背景下，已同意这些政策。然而，共和党最新提议仅寻求资助国土安全部所有部门，唯独排除移民执法部分。
共和党人则对民主党不断变化的诉求感到恼怒。
共和党参议员比尔·卡西迪（Bill Cassidy）将民主党比作伊朗，称“他们觉得可以扣押人质来获取更多利益，无论美国或伊朗人民是否在受苦。”
“他们不断转移目标。这听起来很像他们认为自己掌握了‘霍尔木兹海峡’（战略要地），可以以此扼制美国人的出行，以实现政治目标。这很可悲，”他随后补充道。
部分民主党人主张国会应通过一项仅资助运输安全管理局（TSA）的法案，因为TSA因人员短缺和工作人员持续无薪工作而陷入瘫痪。
民主党参议员本·雷·卢扬（Ben Ray Luján）对共和党尚未支持资助TSA的法案表示不满，指出特德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）和约翰·肯尼迪（John Kennedy）等参议员已对这类立法表示支持。
“我听到其他共和党人私下表示我们应该推进此事。因此我确实希望在其他谈判继续进行的同时，我们能完成这项工作，”卢扬说道。
图恩曾暗示，如果国土安全部持续关闭，参议院下周不会休会。但众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（Mike Johnson）表示，如果参议院未能及时就国土安全部资金达成协议，众议院也不会继续开会，并补充道：“我们非常沮丧。”
“众议院可以在此等待参议院行动，或者返回选区工作，只需72小时通知即可被召回。一旦参议院采取行动，我们就会准备跟进，”约翰逊表示。
众议院共和党领袖称他将在周三晚些时候与总统通话，但未详细说明讨论内容。

Cherry blossoms bloom around the US Capitol on March 23, 2026.

The [latest push] to reopen the Department of Homeland Security is sputtering on Capitol Hill, with frustrations so high that some rank-and-file lawmakers in both parties are privately meeting on their own to try to salvage talks.
Just a day earlier, Senate GOP leaders believed they’d found a compromise that would reopen the shuttered DHS by this weekend. But that plan — which would withhold money for federal immigration enforcement but without any policy changes — has fallen flat in both parties, leaving [President Donald Trump] and GOP leaders with no clear path to end the nearly 40-day stalemate before Congress leaves in two days for a two-week recess.
And with Democrats, too, rejecting the strategy, an uncharacteristically downbeat Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters that it felt that talks were “going in circles” – signaling the impasse could go on for much longer.

Meanwhile, a leading Senate negotiator, GOP Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama, huddled with several House Democratic centrists on Wednesday morning in a frantic attempt to salvage talks and keep both parties at the table for a deal, according to multiple people familiar with the meeting.
Britt, as she left the meeting, told reporters that negotiators “have to” get a deal done this week, adding: “There’s deals on the table.”
Another person familiar with the discussions said it’s a direct result of the intense pressure lawmakers are feeling back home over the department shutdown, which has caused hours-long security lines at airports nationwide.
“We can’t walk away. We need to get something done, we need to get airports open,” that person said.
While top Democrats have insisted that voters will blame Republicans for the shutdown, one senior House Democratic aide suggested that could soon change: “This can’t go on much longer and not have the American people begin to also blame Democrats.”
With just two days until lawmakers are set to leave town for the Easter and Passover recess, Thune said Wednesday he still believes his strategy is the best route to a deal. But he will have to win over plenty of skeptics, including in his own party. Conservatives are balking at the prospect of defunding some Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, and Trump has notably refused to back the plan in full.
Democrats delivered a formal rejection of that plan late Wednesday morning, demanding some of the same ICE reforms that had bogged down the initial talks — something that Senate Republicans say is not on the table if Democrats don’t agree to actually fund ICE.
“Our offer is a reasonable, good-faith proposal that contains some of the very same asks Democrats have been talking about,” Schumer said on the Senate floor, announcing the party’s counteroffer that was sent on behalf of both House and Senate Democratic leaders.
“We’ve been talking about ICE reforms from day one. These are not new demands,” Schumer said.
According to a source familiar with the counteroffer, the party asked for policy changes dealing with officer identification, mask-wearing, judicial warrants, funding for body-worn cameras, training standards and protections of schools, churches and other sensitive locations from being the target of immigration enforcement activity.
The White House had agreed to those policies last week in the context of fully funding DHS including immigration enforcement operations. The latest proposal from Republicans, however, sought to fund every part of DHS except immigration enforcement.
Republicans, though, are exasperated by what they see as Democrats’ constantly changing demands.
GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy likened Democrats to Iran amid the ongoing war, arguing “they feel like they can hold a hostage and get more gained. And it doesn’t matter that people are suffering in our country or theirs.”
“They keep moving the goalpost. It sounds a lot like they feel like they’ve got a good Strait of Hormuz. They can chokepoint travel, this time for the American people, to achieve their political goals. That’s tragic,” he later added.
Some Democrats are arguing that Congress should advance a bill to fund only the Transportation Security Administration, which has been crippled by staffing shortages as workers continue to go unpaid.
Democratic Sen. Ben Ray Luján expressed frustration that Republicans haven’t yet backed advancing a bill to fund TSA, noting that Sens. Ted Cruz and John Kennedy have been open to such legislation.
“I’ve heard other Republicans privately say that we should get moving on this. So I certainly hope that we can get that done while other negotiations continue to take place,” Luján said.
Thune has suggested that the Senate would not leave town next week if DHS remains shut down. But House Speaker Mike Johnson indicated he would not keep the House in session if the Senate fails to come to a DHS funding deal in time, adding, “We’re greatly frustrated.”
“Well, the House can sit around here and wait upon the Senate. They can go home and work in their districts and be summoned right back. As soon as the Senate acts, we’ll be ready to act,” Johnson said, adding that House members would be given 72 hours’ notice to return.
The House Republican leader said he would speak with the president later Wednesday but wouldn’t elaborate on what they would discuss.
