Homeland Security shutdown grows more likely as Republicans rebuff Democrats’ ICE demands

Republicans reject Democrats’ 10-point ICE reform demands, risking a DHS shutdown that could affect multiple agencies despite $75 billion ICE funding boost last year.

  • Senate Majority Leader John Thune called Democrats' demands for reforms and accountability measures on DHS 'unrealistic and unserious', stating they are 'not willing to engage in negotiation and discussion to try and reach a result'.
  • Democrats Schumer and Jeffries demanded restrictions on immigration agents like requiring body cameras and ID displays, as well as removing DHS Secretary Noem, calling these 'common sense reforms' that 'the American people are demanding'.
  • Republican Senator Katie Britt called Democrats' proposal a 'ridiculous Christmas list of demands' and accused them of 'not negotiating in good faith' and playing 'politics to their radical base at the expense of the safety of Americans'.
