Sen. Amy Klobuchar says she will vote against DHS funding
Senate Democrats oppose DHS funding after two fatal federal agent shootings in Minneapolis this month, risking a partial government shutdown by Jan. 30, leaders said.
- Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D‑Minn., said she will not vote for DHS funding in an NBC News 'Meet the Press' interview, urging Republicans to join Democrats over constitutional concerns.
- The fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis prompted Democrats to withhold DHS support after witness videos appear to contradict the Trump administration's description.
- Some 60 votes are required to advance the appropriations measure, so Democratic support is essential, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D‑N.Y., said Jan. 24 Democrats will withhold votes if DHS funding remains.
- The Senate is expected to consider the funding measure this week, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D‑Minn., and Sen. Tina Smith, D‑Minn., plan to vote against it, raising shutdown risks by Jan. 30.
- Pressure is mounting for immigration enforcement operations, with Klobuchar urging ICE to leave Minnesota and criticizing Trump administration officials' descriptions.
