- Summary: «“Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled legislatively, the DHS funding bill doesn’t have the votes to pass,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) said, vowing that his party would filibuster until a deal was reached.» – but then: «Critics have blasted Democrats’ list of demands as weak and ineffectual to begin with, pointing out that they don’t even include a call for federal immigration agents to leave Minneapolis. Notably, ICE is already ignoring dozens of judicial orders, and any reforms included in a new funding bill may be similarly disregarded.»
