\n

Democrats are split on whether to spare the Coast Guard,<\/a> the Secret Service and other agencies from the possibility of a government shutdown<\/a> as lawmakers remain gridlocked over Democrats’ demands for funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).<\/p>\n

“The lawless, reckless people who are marauding bands wild on our street \u2014 to hell with that,” Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., told Fox News Digital, referring to the agents carrying out President Donald Trump’s<\/a> immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n

“But let\u2019s take care of those agencies that are doing the right thing.”<\/p>\n

Other Democrats, however, believe now is the time to play hardball over the changes they want to see and aren’t inclined to cut deals that don’t directly address their demands.<\/p>\n

DEMS’ DHS SHUTDOWN THREAT WOULD HIT FEMA, TSA WHILE IMMIGRATION FUNDING REMAINS INTACT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think there should be any deals so long as Kristi Noem<\/a> heads that department,” said Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Fire her \u2014 then (they) can have my vote.”<\/p>\n

In the wake of two deadly confrontations between border enforcement and civilians in Minnesota in January, Democrats are demanding stronger warrant requirements, a ban on agents in masks, a ban against racial profiling, an end to paramilitary police and more before funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),<\/a> which operates under DHS.<\/p>\n

Republicans have balked at those demands, arguing they would handcuff the agency\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n

But even amid those tensions, DeLauro believes Democrats \u2014 and Republicans \u2014 can find common ground to shield unrelated agencies from suffering the fallout if lawmakers can\u2019t come to an agreement by Friday.<\/p>\n

Until then, DHS is running off a two-week spending extension<\/a> lawmakers agreed to when this same issue threatened a larger, $1.2 trillion spending package earlier in February.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When the impasse over ICE looked poised to tank the bill, lawmakers split off non-DHS funding to shrink the scope of the disagreement. DeLauro believes Congress should do that again now.<\/p>\n

“We are strongly supportive of TSA, of the Coast Guard, of FEMA, of cybersecurity, of the Secret Service, and we applaud what they do,” DeLauro said, listing more services that could be affected.<\/p>\n

“We are not for what ICE and CBP are doing. We are going to be supportive of the other agencies.”<\/p>\n

Other Democrats, especially moderates, agreed with DeLauro.<\/p>\n

“Sounds reasonable,” Rep. Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y., said of her idea. “I don\u2019t think anybody likes shutdowns \u2014 certainly not the Coast Guard, certainly not TSA.”<\/p>\n

THUNE BLASTS JEFFRIES, SCHUMER AS ‘AFRAID OF THEIR SHADOWS’ AS DHS FUNDING FIGHT HEATS UP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I agree with that,” Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, said of DeLauro\u2019s proposal.<\/p>\n

“Even if we do a shutdown, ICE has $75 billion dollars from the big ugly bill,” he told Fox News Digital. “So even if you shut down, the other ones get affected except the one you\u2019re trying to target.”<\/p>\n

As Cuellar pointed out, Republicans allocated large sums<\/a> to ICE through Trump\u2019s signature tax reform and border security package, which passed in July 2025. The package came with enough funding to keep ICE afloat for years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ICE\u2019s budget in 2025 was just shy of $30 billion, meaning that ICE could remain operational for at least two years even without additional funding for 2026.<\/p>\n

Still, other Democrats remained undecided about what approach the caucus should take.<\/p>\n

“I think there are a lot of things that have to go into the mix,” said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla. “The most important thing right now is the proposal that we put on the table. ICE must be reined in<\/a> from the practices that they have been engaging in.”<\/p>\n

FETTERMAN EXPECTS DHS SHUTDOWN AMID PARTISAN FUNDING FEUD, BREAKS WITH DEMOCRATS ON VOTER ID<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Rep. Wesley Bell, D-Mo., echoed Wasserman Schultz\u2019s hesitation.<\/p>\n

“I have a lot of respect for my colleague \u2014 a lot of respect for her. I\u2019ll probably talk to her about that. But as it stands with this administration, I don\u2019t see any way I could do anything but vote no,” Bell told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re supposed to be here to protect Americans. How the administration is deploying ICE is deplorable,” Bell added.<\/p>\n

On Monday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., didn\u2019t speak to whether he would support DeLauro\u2019s proposal.<\/p>\n

“We don’t look at the moment that we’re in as exercising leverage over the other side,” Jeffries said at a press conference. “We want to fund the government in a manner that actually promotes the health, the safety and the economic well-being of the American people.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The ball is in the Republicans’ court right now. We sent over a proposal,” Jeffries said, referring to the 10 demands Democrats had made. “We’ve given them legislative language as it relates to the types of dramatic reforms of DHS that the American people are demanding, and we’ve heard nothing but crickets from the other side.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
