国土安全部几乎肯定会在周五结束时耗尽资金，因为立法者周四离开国会山时还没有达成协议。
参议院民主党人一致投票阻止DHS支出法案，该法案是在明尼阿波利斯联邦特工枪杀Alex Pretti之前谈判的，称该法案没有解决他们对美国移民和海关执法局改革的要求。
共和党参议员凯蒂·布里特(Katie Britt)将对DHS的资助延长两周以留出时间进行进一步谈判的努力也失败了。
参议院本周没有安排进一步的投票，许多参议员登上了去德国参加慕尼黑安全会议的飞机。众议院成员也离开了城镇。
来自运输安全管理局(TSA)、联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)、网络安全和基础设施安全局(CISA)、美国特勤局和美国海岸警卫队的国土安全官员此前警告立法者，资金短缺将导致数千名人员无薪工作，扰乱灾难赔偿，推迟网络保护，并给刚刚摆脱上次政府关闭的机构带来压力。
然而，ICE将在很大程度上继续运营，因为国会已经在唐纳德·特朗普总统去年夏天通过的所谓“一个美丽的大法案”中批准了750亿美元。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩告诉记者，谈判将在周末继续进行，直到下周的总统日休会。但是他抨击民主党人阻止这两项为DHS提供资金的努力。
“在我看来，至少在这一点上，正在发生的是民主党人，就像他们去年秋天所做的那样，他们真的不想要解决方案。他们不想要答案。他们想要政治议题，”图恩说。“谈判将继续进行，我们将在接下来的几天里看到谈判有多严肃。”
在过道的另一边，少数党领袖查克·舒默(Chuck Schumer)表示，他为他的民主党同事感到“自豪”，他们团结一致，阻止DHS拨款，同时继续倡导改变ICE。
“今天的强有力的投票是对共和党人的当头一棒。民主党人不会支持对混乱的空白支票。今天的投票问了一个简单的问题:你会控制ICE的滥用，还是会投票延长混乱?舒默在新闻发布会上说:“共和党人选择混乱，而民主党人选择混乱，我们拒绝了。”。
众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯星期四也说了类似的话对DHS的资助“不应该继续”,除非ICE有“戏剧性的变化”。
“冰已经完全失控了。杰弗里斯在新闻发布会上说:“我们知道现在需要控制它们，不能再拖延了。”。
民主党人呼吁在特工进入私人财产前获得司法授权，禁止ICE特工戴口罩，要求使用人体摄像头，并制定新的武力使用标准法律。
迄今为止，民主党人拒绝了白宫关于ICE改革的提议。舒默周四一再表示，白宫的提议“不严肃”。
但舒默和参议院民主党人以及共和党人拒绝提供白宫提案中的具体细节。
“嗯，听着，首先，我不打算公开谈判，也不想谈细节。但是第二，他们的提议并不严肃、简单明了。这与我们需要的相差甚远，”舒默说。
美国广播公司新闻已经联系白宫，要求对舒默和杰弗里斯做出回应。
众议院议长·迈克·约翰逊认为，白宫向DHS提供资金的最新提议“非常合理”
特朗普总统周四在白宫的一次活动中回答记者提问时，被问及即将关闭的问题。
特朗普表示，他上次与舒默通话是在“一周前”，并表示民主党人的一些要求“很难批准”，但没有详细说明这些要求是什么。
“我们必须保护我们的执法，”特朗普说。
国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆指责民主党没有保障美国的安全。
“除了国土安全部，联邦政府的其他部门都得到了资助。这是在告诉全世界，民主党认为保护美国是不安全的。这是一个错误的信息，”诺姆在加利福尼亚州的新闻发布会上说。
DHS shutdown all but certain as lawmakers leave Washington with no deal
The Department of Homeland Security is all but certain to run out of funding at the end of the day Friday as lawmakers left Capitol Hill Thursday with no deal in sight.
Senate Democrats voted unanimously to block a DHS spending bill that was negotiated before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, saying it did not address their demands for reform at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
An effort by Republican Sen. Katie Britt to extend funding for DHS for two weeks to allow time for further negotiations also failed.
The Senate has no further votes scheduled for this week and many senators were boarding planes to Germany for the Munich Security Conference. House members also left town.
Homeland Security officials from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Coast Guard previously warned lawmakers that a lapse in funding will leave thousands of personnel working without pay, disrupt disaster reimbursements, delay cyber protections and put a strain on agencies barely digging out of the previous government shutdown.
ICE, however, will largely continue operating because of the $75 billion already approved by Congress in President Donald Trump's so-called "one big beautiful bill" that was passed last summer.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters that talks would continue over the weekend and into next week's Presidents Day week recess. But he slammed Democrats for blocking both efforts to keep DHS funded.
"What it appears to me, at least at this point, is happening is the Democrats, like they did last fall, they really don't want the solution. They don't want the answer. They want the political issue," Thune said. "Negotiations will continue and we will see in the course of the next few days how serious they are."
On the other side of the aisle, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he was "proud" of his Democratic colleagues for standing together to block DHS funding from advancing while they continue to advocate for changes to ICE.
"Today's strong vote was a shot across the bow to Republicans. Democrats will not support a blank check for chaos. This vote today asked a simple question: Will you rein in ICE's abuses, or will you vote to extend the chaos? Republicans chose chaos and the Democrats, we refused," Schumer said at a news conference.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries similarly said Thursdaythat funding for DHS "should not move forward" unless there are "dramatic changes" made to ICE.
"ICE is completely and totally out of control. We know they need to be reined in now, without further delay," Jeffries said at his news conference.
Democrats are calling for judicial warrants before agents can enter private property, a ban on ICE agents wearing face masks, requiring the use of body cameras and new laws for use-of-force standards.
Democrats have so far rejected the White House proposals for ICE reform. Schumer on Thursday repeatedly said the proposal from the White House was "not serious."
But Schumer and Senate Democrats, as well as Republicans, have declined to offer specific details about what was in the White House proposal.
"Well, look, first, I'm not going to negotiate in public and get into the details. But second, their proposal is not serious, plain and simple. It is very far apart from what we need," Schumer said.
ABC News has reached out to the White House for a response to Schumer and Jeffries.
House Speaker Mike Johnson argued the latest proposal from the White House to fund DHS is "imminently reasonable."

President Trump was asked about the impending shutdown as he took reporter questions at a White House event on Thursday.
Trump said he last spoke with Schumer "a week ago" and said some demands from Democrats are "very hard to approve" without elaborating on what those demands are.
"We have to protect our law enforcement," Trump said.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused Democrats of not keeping America safe.
"Every other portion of the federal government has been funded except Homeland security. That's telling the rest of the world the Democrat Party doesn't think that protecting America is safe. It's the wrong message to send," Noem said at a press conference in California.
