Prospects for ICE Deal Sour on Capitol Hill as Shutdown Deadline Nears for Critical Agency
House Democrats oppose the DHS funding deal due to insufficient immigration enforcement reforms and exclusion from talks, risking a government shutdown amid rising political tensions.
- On Sunday, House Democrats signaled they would reject the Senate‑White House DHS funding deal and only 21 Democrats voted for the Tuesday package.
- Following the killing last month in Minneapolis, public outrage over two U.S. citizens killed by federal agents reshaped debate and allowed Senate Republicans to consider Democratic proposals.
- Democrats are demanding judicial‑warrant requirements and unmasking ICE officers, while Republicans largely rejected these and proposed sanctuary city language; the only bipartisan agreement is body cameras for ICE officers announced Monday by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
- With funding set to lapse in two weeks, Senate Majority Leader John Thune warned Tuesday it might take a miracle to resolve the ICE deal before a shutdown snarls airports and halts pay for Coast Guard and Secret Service.
- The dispute highlights long‑term immigration challenges: even if enforcement changes pass, they would not solve the issue of 12 million to 14 million unauthorized immigrants, while Democrats face risks and opportunities for a comprehensive immigration plan.
