"I think there will be some kind of negotiations with the president on what immigration enforcement is going to look like in the future, Gimenez said. Unfortunately, we've been warning the administration about the enforcement that has been going on. We thought that there should have been course correction a long time ago now I guess going to be forced on us by the Democrats. Unfortunately, we could have done it ourselves should done it ourselves but that didn't happen."
"We should have been focusing on criminals and gang members and people with active deportation orders, Gimenez said. I don't think we should have been focusing on people that have been here for a long time grandmothers, etc. who happened to be in a neighborhood during an enforcement action. I think a mistake coming back to haunt us right now."
House Republicans expressed confidence that the House will pass the Republican spending bill to end the partial government shutdown despite Democratic opposition to Department of Homeland Security funding tied to Immigration and Customs Enforcement provisions. Democrats withheld support over demands for reforms to ICE's deportation tactics aimed at limiting actions against long-term residents. A last-minute deal with the White House included a two-week stopgap to continue negotiations on DHS funding. Republicans warned that enforcement practices focused broadly rather than on criminals and people with active deportation orders. Critics argue that sweeping enforcement harms the economy by removing workers and that a negotiated course correction is needed.
