WASHINGTON —
Democrats are debating whether to leverage a Jan. 30 deadline to impose restrictions on President Trump’s immigration policies following the fatal shooting of an American woman by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. Progressives are pushing for conditions on DHS funding, such as requiring agent identification and limiting operations to border areas. The Congressional Progressive Caucus has voted against any DHS funding bill without significant immigration enforcement reforms, complicating the funding process for Republicans. Meanwhile, Senate leaders are urging bipartisan cooperation to avoid a government shutdown as internal Democratic discussions focus on accountability rather than withholding funds.
