"Democrats and the White House have traded offers in recent days as the Democrats have said they want curbs on President Donald Trump's broad campaign of immigration enforcement. They have demanded better identification for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal law enforcement officers, a new code of conduct for those agencies and more use of judicial warrants, among other requests."
"The White House sent its latest proposal late Wednesday, but Trump told reporters on Thursday that some of the Democratic demands would be "very, very hard to approve." SEE ALSO: What to know about the congressional fight over ICE, another possible government shutdown Democrats said the White House offer, which was not made public, did not include sufficient curbs on ICE after two protesters were fatally shot last month."
A shutdown for the Department of Homeland Security appears likely as House and Senate lawmakers prepared to leave Washington for a 10-day recess while talks with the White House stalled. Democrats demanded tighter limits on immigration enforcement, including improved identification for ICE and other officers, a new code of conduct, and more judicial warrants. The White House submitted a proposal but President Trump said some demands would be "very, very hard to approve." Democrats said the offer lacked sufficient curbs after two protesters were fatally shot. Senate leaders rejected a funding bill; Democrats plan to send a counterproposal while Republicans warn federal employees could miss paychecks.
