US EditionJeffries: Democrats ‘steadfast’ in demands for ICE reforms
Democrats demand ICE reforms including agent ID display and warrant requirements amid a DHS funding lapse affecting essential agencies and delaying fiscal year 2026 appropriations.
- On Wednesday, Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said Democrats will block the DHS funding bill unless it includes dramatic ICE reforms.
- Amid renewed calls for accountability, Democrats demand ICE reforms following the January fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, forcing a shutdown in less than six months.
- Democrats want to require immigration enforcement agents to display identification and ban face masks, plus a judicial warrant requirement before entering private property and protections for churches, hospitals, schools, and polling sites.
- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been underfunded for five days, agencies have scaled back while more than 90% of employees remain essential, and hundreds of thousands face missed paychecks if the lapse continues.
- Despite the funding lapse, ICE has been largely unaffected after a $75 billion boost from Republicans' budget reconciliation bill, while Republicans in Congress oppose some reforms, Jeffries said.
