US EditionPartial Federal Shutdown Seems Increasingly Likely as Dems Demand Changes to ICE
Democrats demand enforceable ICE reforms including warrants and ID for arrests to prevent a partial government shutdown amid fallout from two fatal federal agent shootings, Schumer said.
- On Thursday, Senate Democrats narrowed demands for changes to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and pledged to block the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, risking a partial shutdown starting Saturday.
- Driven by outrage over two deaths in Minneapolis, Senate Democrats demanded ICE agents follow local policing rules, including `masks off, body cameras on` and ending `roving patrols`.
- Specific reforms listed by Democrats include an enforceable code of conduct, judicial warrants for immigration arrests, agent identification requirements, body cameras, ending arrest quotas, and forcing DHS cooperation with local authorities.
- The House passed the six remaining funding bills last week as a package, making it difficult to separate Homeland Security funding, while House Republicans say changes must clear the House and require consent of all 100 senators.
- Democrats show greater unity than during last fall's shutdown, with Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer saying, `The public can't trust the administration to do the right thing on its own` and Sen. Chris Murphy noting, `None of this is revolutionary`.
