Democrats see a 'moral moment' over ICE as GOP defends masked, armed feds in the streets with shutdown looming | Fortune
"The American people support law enforcement, they support border security, they do not support ICE terrorizing our streets and killing American citizens,"
"Boil it all down, what we are talking about is that these lawless ICE agents should be following the same rules that your local police department does,"
"There has to be accountability."
"reined in and overhauled."
Senate Democrats presented demands to the Department of Homeland Security including an enforceable code of conduct for federal agents conducting immigration arrests and a requirement that officers show identification. Funding for DHS and several agencies faces expiration Saturday, prompting Democrats to pledge to block a spending bill unless reforms are implemented. Calls include reining in and overhauling U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The demands followed the deaths of protesters Alex Pretti and Renee Good at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis, which increased unity within the Democratic caucus and raised the prospect of a shutdown two months after a 43-day closure.
