He watches: Jeffries says Democrats are pushing to ‘take control of ICE’ as DHS shuts down
A White House official said on Friday that the administration sent another counteroffer to Democrats on Thursday. The official, who requested anonymity to discuss private negotiations, described the offer as “dangerous.”
Aides to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, both New York Democrats, confirmed that lawmakers had received the offer.
In a joint statement to reporters, aides to Schumer and Jeffries said their offices were reviewing the White House proposal โcloselyโ and that Democrats were continuing to push for โreal reformsโ on the behavior of federal immigration agents.
Federal funding for the Department of Homeland Security ended on January 30, as Democrats called for more restrictions on the conduct of federal immigration agents in the wake of the deaths of US citizens in Minnesota.
But most DHS provides important government, which means federal employees work โ but don’t get paid.
