5 hours agoGOP leaders prepare to steamroll opponents of DHS funding plan
Republican senators are pushing for spending cuts and specific priorities in upcoming funding discussions for DHS and immigration enforcement.
Schumer has demanded that Republicans separate the DHS funding bill from five other spending bills for many other agencies and said Democrats would vote for those bills to keep the government open. They want to negotiate sweeping changes to how ICE operates in exchange for passing the DHS funding measure, including an outside investigation into the killing of protester Alex Pretti, improved training for dealing with protestors and bystanders. and forcing agents to stop wearing masks to obscure their identity.
