US EditionChaos in Minnesota Prompts Congress to Eye ICE Reforms
Senate Democrats demand ICE reforms including body cameras and warrant requirements, linking them to DHS funding amid a negotiation deadline in less than two weeks.
- On Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries hosted a joint press conference to outline Democratic ICE priorities, with a written proposal expected in the next 24 hours, Schumer said.
- Democrats have tied DHS funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement reforms after recent ICE violence, saying they will not back another DHS continuing resolution unless Republicans engage; Senate Democrats raised these demands last month.
- Democrats want mandates for body cameras, visible IDs, mask bans, judicial warrants, and legal remedies against wrongful detention for ICE, aligning it with routine policing practices.
- House Republicans barely passed a funding package on Tuesday after more than a day of wrangling, while ICE and CBP can draw on a separate 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act funding pool, complicating leverage.
- Failure to agree could prompt a DHS-wide funding lapse affecting ICE, CBP, TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard, while Republicans push to crack down on sanctuary cities and Democrats may split DHS votes.

Chaos in Minnesota prompts Congress to eye ICE reforms
WASHINGTON – When members of Congress saw the chaos surrounding immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, they didn’t like what they saw, opening the door to reforms. In a rare rebuke to President Donald Trump, lawmakers are considering putting guardrails on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, two agencies that last year received a massive infusion of funding – $75 billion – in the president’s “bi…
