本周早些时候，参议院共和党人和总统似乎正逐渐接近一项结束国土安全部（DHS）停摆的框架协议，而这次停摆目前已进入第二个月——但突破性进展仍遥不可及。
CBS新闻联系了众议院和参议院的全部532个办公室（众议院有3个空缺），就国土安全部资金僵局问题询问议员们正在采取什么行动来结束停摆。
他们将如何恢复国土安全部的资金？他们对在长达数小时的机场安检队伍中等待的美国人有何信息？他们又会对即将在周五错过第二份全额薪水的无薪TSA工作人员说些什么？
参议院：党派指责游戏
有20个参议院办公室实质性地回应了CBS新闻的询问。
共和党人指责民主党阻挠了全面资助国土安全部的努力。众议院已经两次通过了这样的法案，其中有少数民主党人签名支持，但在参议院，民主党人以要求移民和海关执法局（ICE）改革为由搁置了该法案，原因是今年1月联邦特工在枪击事件中造成了Renee Good和Alex Pretti死亡。
“这让我很生气。国土安全部现在已经停摆一个多月了。重要的是要明白，是参议院民主党人在这样做，”密西西比州共和党参议员辛迪·海德-史密斯（Cindy Hyde-Smith）说。
一些民主党议员推动将ICE和海关与边境保护局（CBP）的资金分开，并投票开放该部门的其他部分。周二，参议院共和党领袖提出了这一想法的一个版本，提议资助国土安全部的所有组成部分，除了ICE的执法和移除行动部门，尽管该部门因去年夏天国会单独通过的资金而在停摆期间仍有充足资金。
堪萨斯州共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔（Roger Marshall）本周批评了孤立ICE资金的想法。”将其拆分或有选择地削减部分资金是危险的，这就是为什么我每天都在参议院议席上努力，并探索各种途径来全面资助该机构。”
几位议员对无薪TSA工作人员表示了感谢。
“美国人不应该在机场排队数小时，我们所有的国土安全部工作人员都应该得到报酬，这就是为什么我们继续努力寻找前进的道路。我们非常感谢我们的TSA特工，并正在努力让他们获得报酬，”北达科他州共和党参议员约翰·霍文（John Hoeven）的发言人卡米·卡佩纳（Kami Capener）说。
几乎所有回应的民主党人都指责共和党人拒绝重新开放国土安全部的大部分部门，同时继续就移民执法资金进行谈判。ICE通过去年通过的《一项大而美丽的法案》（One Big Beautiful Bill Act）已经获得了数百亿美元的单独资金。
“我支持美国人民要求追究责任，以约束ICE和CBP的无法无天行为——否则我无法接受任何方案，”加利福尼亚州参议员亚历克斯·帕迪拉（Alex Padilla）说。
民主党人正在寻求ICE政策的改变，如要求特工佩戴随身摄像机，禁止在执法行动中使用口罩，并在某些情况下获得司法令状。
来自边境州新墨西哥州的参议员马丁·海因里希（Martin Heinrich）告诉CBS新闻：”没有法治的恢复，我不会支持为ICE提供资金。”
一些民主党人抨击了特朗普总统，他此前曾表示，在国会通过他的选举法案《SAVE美国法案》（SAVE America Act）之前，他不会签署任何法案，该法案包括选民ID要求、选民登记的公民身份证明以及对跨性别权利的限制。
“我们的联邦工作人员应该得到他们的薪水。旅行者应该拥有正常运转的机场。最重要的是，美国人不应该成为总统政治游戏的棋子，”科罗拉多州民主党参议员迈克尔·贝内特（Michael Bennet）说。
CBS新闻亲自采访了一些议员，而其他议员则通过电话和电子邮件接受了采访。
“共和党人可以随时通过加入民主党来资助TSA并支付这些敬业的联邦工作人员，从而结束这场闹剧，”俄勒冈州参议员罗恩·怀登（Ron Wyden）说。
众议院：”现在轮到参议院了”
超过60名众议院议员实质性地回应了CBS的问题。
几位共和党人表示，由于这取决于参议院采取行动，他们几乎无能为力。
“现在轮到参议院了，民主党人需要停止拖延并将法案提交给总统签署，”佛罗里达州共和党众议员迈克·哈里多洛波斯（Mike Haridolopos）说，他投票支持了全面资助国土安全部的众议院法案。”已经停摆39天，结果很明显：长时间排队、错过航班、家庭滞留。而这是为了什么？政治杠杆？”
“共和党人控制着众议院、参议院和白宫，他们却选择在我们的机场制造混乱，而不是寻求一个常识性的解决方案，”加利福尼亚州民主党众议员劳拉·弗里德曼（Laura Friedman）说，她是一项在移民执法谈判继续的同时向TSA工作人员支付工资的法案的联合提案人。
纽约州共和党众议员尼克·拉洛塔（Nick LaLota）周二在纽约拉瓜迪亚机场看望了TSA员工，他在《The Takeout》节目中告诉CBS新闻。他说，如果议员们无法达成协议，该部门应该按照停摆前的水平获得资金。
“我们应该支付我们的TSA特工的工资，”拉洛塔说。”我很灵活……我可以同意一个不能完全得到我想要的东西的协议。”
内布拉斯加州共和党众议员唐·培根（Don Bacon）表达了类似的灵活性：”我愿意支持参议院达成的任何妥协，以确保获得60票通过。”无论参议院通过什么法案，众议院可能都需要再次进行投票。
“众议院的共和党人已经完成了我们的工作，两次，”德克萨斯州共和党众议员韦斯利·亨特（Wesley Hunt）告诉CBS。
俄克拉荷马州共和党众议员凯文·科尔（Kevin Cole）是全面资助国土安全部的立法的作者。在给CBS新闻的一份声明中，他的发言人说：”当然，随着资金中断进入第40天，他正在尽一切努力让国土安全部获得资金。”
尽管该法案在参议院受阻，众议院议员们继续指责对方党派。
“我恳请我的共和党同事与民主党人一起通过一项法案，在国会努力确保必要的ICE改革的同时，向TSA、海岸警卫队、联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）和特勤局支付工资，”威斯康星州民主党众议员格温·摩尔（Gwen Moore）告诉CBS新闻。”参议院民主党人已经提出了多项通过TSA资金的决议，但都被共和党人阻挠了。”
“民主党人一直在不懈努力全面资助像TSA这样的机构，同时我们推动改革特朗普残酷的ICE政策，这些政策已经导致三名美国人在街上丧生，”佛罗里达州民主党众议员黛比·沃瑟曼·舒尔茨（Debbie Wasserman Schultz）告诉CBS新闻。
几位众议院议员指出了国土安全部停摆将对公务员产生的持久影响。
“我确切地知道谁要为停摆付出代价。不是国会议员。而是TSA特工、空中交通管制员、海岸警卫队成员和FEMA人员，”爱荷华州共和党众议员玛丽安内特·米勒-米克斯（Mariannette Miller-Meeks）说。
“你可以就政策问题有不同意见，但你不能强迫那些保护我们国家安全的人付出代价，”她说。”是时候结束这场游戏并资助国土安全部了。”

We asked every lawmaker in Congress what they’re doing to end the DHS shutdown
March 24, 2026 / 10:13 PM EDT / CBS News
Early this week, Senate Republicans and the president appeared to be edging closer to a framework to ending the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, which is now in its second month — but a breakthrough has remained out of reach.
CBS News contacted all 532 House and Senate offices (there are three House vacancies) about the DHS funding impasse and asked what lawmakers are doing to end the shutdown.
How would they restore DHS funding? What’s their message to Americans waiting in hourslong airport security lines? And what do they have to say to unpaid TSA workers who are about to miss their second full paycheck Friday?
Senate: Partisan blame game
Twenty Senate offices responded substantively to CBS News’s inquiries.
Republicans blamed Democrats for blocking efforts to fully fund DHS. The House of Representatives has twice passed such a bill with a handful of Democrats signing on, but in the Senate, Democrats have held up the bill over demands for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement reforms after the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in January.
“It makes me angry. The Department of Homeland Security has now been shut down for over a month. And it’s important to understand that it’s Senate Democrats doing this,” said Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi.
Some Democratic lawmakers have pushed to separate out ICE and CBP funding and vote to open the rest of the department. On Tuesday, Senate Republican leaders floated a version of that idea, proposing to fund every component of DHS except for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations unit, which is flush with cash in spite of the shutdown because of funding that was separately passed by Congress last summer.
GOP Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas criticized the idea of isolating ICE funding this week. “Breaking that apart or selectively defunding components is dangerous, which is why I’ve been fighting every day on the Senate floor and exploring every avenue to fully fund the agency.”
Several lawmakers expressed gratitude for the unpaid TSA workers.
“Americans should not be waiting in line for hours at the airport and all of our DHS workers should be paid, which is why we continue working to find a path forward. We truly appreciate our TSA agents and are working to get them paid,” said Kami Capener, a spokesperson for GOP Sen. John Hoeven of North Dakota.
Almost every Democrat who responded blamed Republicans for refusing to reopen most of DHS while continuing to negotiate on immigration enforcement funding. ICE has already received tens of billions in funding separately through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed last year.
“I’m with the American people in demanding accountability to rein in ICE and CBP’s lawlessness — anything short of that is a nonstarter for me,” said Sen. Alex Padilla of California.
Democrats are seeking ICE policy changes like requiring agents to use body-worn cameras, banning the use of masks during enforcement operations and obtaining judicial warrants in certain cases.
Sen. Martin Heinrich of border state New Mexico told CBS News, “I will not support funding ICE without a restoration to the rule of law.”
Some Democrats took shots at President Trump who has previously said he would not sign any bill until Congress passes his election bill, the SAVE America Act, which includes voter ID requirements, proof of citizenship for voter registration and restrictions on transgender rights.
“Our federal workers deserve their paychecks. Travelers deserve functioning airports. And most importantly, Americans should not be pawns in the president’s political games,” Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado said.
CBS News interviewed some members in person, while other lawmakers were reached by phone and email.
“Republicans could end this farce any time by joining Democrats to fund TSA and pay these dedicated federal workers,” said Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon.
House: “It’s the Senate’s turn”
More than 60 House members responded substantively to CBS’s questions.
Several Republicans suggested there was little they could do since it is up to the Senate to act.
“Now it’s the Senate’s turn, and Democrats need to stop stalling and get the bill to the President’s desk,” said Florida Republican Rep. Mike Haridolopos, who voted for the House bill to fully fund DHS. “Thirty-nine days in, the results are obvious: hourslong lines, missed flights, families stranded. And for what? Political leverage?”
“Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House, and they are choosing chaos at our airports over a commonsense solution,” said Rep. Laura Friedman, a Democrat from California, and a co-sponsor of a bill that would pay TSA workers while immigration enforcement negotiations continue.
GOP Rep. Nick LaLota of New York visited TSA employees at LaGuardia Airport in New York Tuesday, he told CBS News on “The Takeout.” He said the department should be funded at its pre-shutdown level if lawmakers cannot reach a deal.
“We should pay our TSA agents,” LaLota said. “I’m flexible…I can sign on to a deal that doesn’t get 100% of what I want.”
Rep. Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican, signaled a similar flexibility: “I’m willing to support whatever compromise the Senate reaches to secure 60 votes.” The House will likely have to vote again on whatever bill passes the Senate.
“Republicans in the House of Representatives have done our job, twice,” GOP Rep. Wesley Hunt of Texas told CBS.
Rep. Kevin Cole, Republican of Oklahoma, is the author of the legislation to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security. In a statement to CBS News, his spokesperson said, “Of course he is doing everything he can to get DHS funded,” as the funding lapse enters its 40th day.
Though the legislation is held up in the Senate, House members continued to point fingers across the aisle.
“I am imploring my Republican colleagues to join Democrats in passing legislation to pay TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, and Secret Service while Congress works to secure essential ICE reforms,” Democratic Rep. Gwen Moore of Wisconsin told CBS News. “Senate Democrats have put forward numerous resolutions to pass TSA funding that Republicans have blocked.”
“Democrats have fought tirelessly to fully fund agencies like TSA while we push for an overhaul of Trump’s brutal ICE policies that have gotten three Americans killed in the streets,” Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida told CBS News.
Several House members noted the lasting impact the DHS shutdown will have on public servants.
“I know exactly who pays the price for a shutdown. It’s not members of Congress. It’s TSA agents, air traffic controllers, Coast Guard servicemembers, and FEMA personnel,” GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa said.
“Disagree on policy all you want, but you can’t force the people who keep this country safe to pay the price,” she said. “It’s time to end the games and fund DHS.”
