立法僵局導致國土安全部撥款受阻
Legislative standoff stalls DHS funding
在2026年初，美國面臨了一場前所未有的立法僵局，事關國土安全部（DHS）的撥款。
In early 2026, the United States faced an unprecedented legislative impasse regarding funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
矛盾在2月中旬激化，當時民主黨人阻撓了撥款，要求對移民暨海關執法局（ICE）與海關暨邊境保護局（CBP）進行運作改革。
The conflict ignited in mid-February, when Democrats blocked appropriations to demand operational reforms for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
這些訴求源於對聯邦探員近期行為的擔憂，以及意圖對川普總統大規模驅逐計畫設置限制。
These demands were driven by concerns over recent federal agent conduct and a desire to impose guardrails on President Trump’s mass deportation campaign.
然而，共和黨人拒絕了這些條件，將其定性為拆解執法機構的企圖。
Republicans, however, rejected these conditions, characterizing them as attempts to dismantle enforcement agencies.
隨著僵局持續，隸屬於運輸安全署（TSA）、聯邦緊急管理署（FEMA）與特勤局的必要工作人員面臨無薪休假或無薪工作，導致機場安檢嚴重癱瘓。
As the impasse continued, essential workers across the TSA, FEMA, and the Secret Service faced furloughs or unpaid labor, causing severe disruptions in airport security.
領導層同意在資助較廣泛的國土安全部的同時，透過預算和解程序分別為ICE和CBP爭取撥款，從而繞過了常規的阻撓議事規則。
Leadership agreed to fund the broader DHS while using the budget reconciliation process to separately secure funding for ICE and CBP, thereby bypassing typical filibuster rules.
此次危機凸顯了政治分歧的深重，展現了在激烈黨派摩擦時期治理的挑戰，並為即將到來的期中選舉定下了緊繃的基調。
This crisis highlighted deep political divides, showcasing the challenges of governance during a period of intense partisan friction and setting a tense tone for the upcoming midterm elections.
