Скачать или смотреть Democrats lay out demands for ICE as government funding impasse enters final hours

Congressional Democrats on Wednesday clarified their demands for continued government funding, less than 48 hours ahead of a potential partial government shutdown.

To keep paying the Department of Homeland Security, Democrats want large structural changes to some of the ways that ICE has been operating in cities like Minneapolis all across the country.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer outlined those demands this afternoon, making clear that Democrats do not support the work of ICE during the second Trump administration.

"This is not border security," Schumer said. "This is not law and order. This is chaos. What ice is doing is state-sanctioned thuggery. It must stop. Republicans must work with Democrats to find legislative solutions to restore order and public safety. Congress has the authority and the moral obligation to act. What's missing is Republican will."

Leader Schumer said that all Democrats agree on the following three areas for changes to Immigration and Customs Enforcement:

They want to end roving patrols of cities and ensure the use of warrants by ICE officers.

They also want to boost accountability and create a framework for investigations.

And perhaps most critically, Democrats want to ban agents from wearing masks while they work, wear and use body cameras and use and carry proper identification.
