Jeffries: Democrats ‘steadfast’ in demands for ICE reforms
Democrats demand ICE reforms including agent ID display and warrant requirements amid a DHS funding lapse affecting essential agencies and delaying fiscal year 2026 appropriations.
- On Wednesday, Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said Democrats will block the DHS funding bill unless it includes dramatic ICE reforms.
- Amid renewed calls for accountability, Democrats demand ICE reforms following the January fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, forcing a shutdown in less than six months.
- Democrats want to require immigration enforcement agents to display identification and ban face masks, plus a judicial warrant requirement before entering private property and protections for churches, hospitals, schools, and polling sites.
- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been underfunded for five days, agencies have scaled back while more than 90% of employees remain essential, and hundreds of thousands face missed paychecks if the lapse continues.
- Despite the funding lapse, ICE has been largely unaffected after a $75 billion boost from Republicans' budget reconciliation bill, while Republicans in Congress oppose some reforms, Jeffries said.

Shutdown Showdown: Jeffries Draws a Line on ICE
(AURN News) — “This is day five of the Trump-Republican shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, meaning they’ve chosen to shut down the Coast Guard, shut down FEMA and shut down TSA, rather than dramatically reform ICE. Donald Trump spent the weekend on the golf course with Ron DeSantis, and so we’ve not seen any high-level effort,” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said.
