"A change in personnel is not sufficient, we need a change in policy. The problems at this agency transcend any one person. The rot is deep. The president has to end the violence and rein in ICE."
"The proposals include prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks, requiring them to display their IDs, restricting their ability to use force and blocking them from conducting operations at schools, churches and medical facilities."
"I am so happy that one of the worst administrative leaders I've ever seen is gone. But the agency itself is still reckless and out of control."
Democratic leaders rejected Kristi Noem's removal as DHS Secretary as insufficient, emphasizing that systemic problems at the agency require comprehensive policy changes. Democrats have proposed ten specific immigration enforcement reforms, including prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks, requiring ID displays, restricting force usage, and preventing operations at schools, churches, and medical facilities. Senate Democrats blocked a DHS funding bill, failing to secure the 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster. Democratic leaders indicated they will continue negotiating directly with the White House rather than focusing on personnel changes, characterizing Noem as uninvolved in substantive negotiations.
