As the deadline to fund the Department of Homeland Security approaches, congressional Democrats and Republicans are locked in a contentious battle over immigration enforcement, specifically targeting the practices of ICE. Democrats have presented a list of ten demands aimed at reforming ICE, including calls for dramatic changes in operational protocols such as the use of masks, cameras, and judicial warrants. Despite the urgency, negotiations appear to be stalling, with Republican leaders rebuffing these proposals and expressing concerns over their potential impacts. The looming possibility of a DHS shutdown grows as both parties dig in their heels, with partisan divisions deepening over immigration policy and funding solutions.
