"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."
"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. The offer was "not serious," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said Thursday, after the Senate rejected a bill to fund the department. Americans want accountability and "an end to the chaos," Schumer said. "The White House and congressional Republicans must listen and deliver.""
A shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security appeared likely as House and Senate lawmakers prepared to leave for a 10-day break while negotiations stalled. Democrats sought curbs on President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement campaign, including better identification for ICE and other federal officers, a new code of conduct, and greater use of judicial warrants. The White House submitted a proposal, and President Trump called some demands "very, very hard to approve." Democrats labeled the offer insufficient after two protesters were fatally shot and said they would send a counterproposal over the weekend. Lawmakers could be recalled if a deal is reached.
