Senate Democrats demand DHS funding bill include reforms to ‘rein in ICE’
AI Summary
Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, are demanding reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) be included in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill, which must pass by Friday to avoid a partial government shutdown. The Democrats' demands include banning masks for federal agents, requiring body cameras and identification, mandating coordination with local police, and establishing independent investigations into misconduct. These demands follow the recent killing of a U.S. citizen by federal agents in Minneapolis. Republicans, led by John Thune, have signaled openness to discussing reforms but intend to proceed with a vote on the DHS funding bill and other spending measures on Thursday. The GOP emphasizes that a government shutdown is not in anyone's interest.
