Dems Reject White House ICE Proposal Ahead Of DHS Funding Deadline

4 weeks ago
Democratic leaders are calling the White House’s latest immigration enforcement proposal “incomplete and insufficient,” just days before funding for the Department of Homeland Security is set to expire. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said the White House counteroffer lacks details and does not address concerns about ICE’s enforcement actions. The proposal has not been released publicly, and lawmakers warn a government shutdown is possible without an agreement.
