"Sen. Chris Murphy, the ranking Democrat on the subcommittee that oversees the DHS budget, plans to introduce legislation that would require agents to have warrants for arrests, ban them from wearing masks during enforcement operations, limit the use of guns by ICE during civil actions, and restrict the Border Patrol to the border.

The killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent has prompted congressional action tied to a looming DHS funding deadline. Lawmakers plan to attach restrictions to DHS appropriations, including requiring warrants for arrests, banning agents from wearing masks during enforcement, limiting ICE use of firearms in civil actions, and confining Border Patrol operations to the border. Senate Democrats, led by Sen. Chris Murphy, are organizing demands for such guardrails in exchange for votes. At least one Republican, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, called for policy changes and an objective investigation. Some House Democrats urge even stronger measures, including dismantling ICE.
