Washington — Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, have proposed reforms to immigration enforcement, including a “mask off, body cameras on” policy, in exchange for their support in funding the government amid a looming shutdown. Following a deadly shooting in Minneapolis, Democrats are pushing to separate the Department of Homeland Security funding from the broader package for renegotiation. While willing to negotiate with Republicans, they emphasize these reforms reflect public expectations of law enforcement. Republicans advocate for any changes to be made through executive action rather than legislation.
