Democrats make counteroffer on ICE reforms as DHS shutdown continues
Read Original Source
Washington — Democrats sent a counteroffer on overhauling immigration enforcement to the White House and Republicans on Monday, the latest development in talks over how to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Funding lapsed on Saturday for DHS, which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. Democrats vowed to oppose funding without reforms to ICE and CBP following two deadly shootings by federal agents during the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis last month.
AI Summary

Key Points:
- Funding for DHS lapsed after a short-term deal expired, leaving the department in shutdown mode.
- Democrats want changes to ICE and CBP before they support new funding, especially after deadly shootings involving federal agents in Minneapolis.
- Their demands include limits on roving patrols, a use-of-force code, body cameras, and ending masks for immigration agents.
- President Donald Trump said he may meet with Democrats, but both sides say a deal is still not close.
