The Hill - Senators’ bipartisan compromise to end the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown appears to be falling apart. The deal is taking a lot of fire from Democrats and conservative Senate Republicans.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) bashed the proposal in a private GOP meeting, arguing it effectively defunds Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a source told The Hill.
Democrats want more reforms, such as banning ICE agents from wearing masks and requiring federal immigration officers to obtain judicial warrants. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) rejected the deal but said Democrats would send a counteroffer.
