US EditionSchumer calls on GOP to move funding package without DHS money to avoid shutdown
Schumer urges GOP to advance five appropriations bills without Homeland Security funding amid demands for ICE reforms following two fatal shootings, raising shutdown risks.
- On Sunday, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer urged Republican Senate leaders to advance the five remaining spending bills and rewrite the Department of Homeland Security bill, saying Democrats will not provide votes if DHS funding is included.
- After this month, Renee Good, a mother of three, was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, prompting Democrats to oppose DHS funding following Alex Pretti's Saturday death.
- Democrats are pushing specific reforms in the DHS bill, including warrants for immigration arrests, stronger training, agent identification, and limits on Border Patrol interior raids, while Sen. Patty Murray said Sunday, `I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands.`
- The House sent the six funding bills as a package, so Republican leaders in the Senate face a difficult position needing some Democratic support to pass remaining bills in time.
- House Democrats held a caucus call with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, pushing for full joint federal and state investigations and DHS reforms including warrants and training changes.
