Democrats Link DHS Funding to Immigration Reforms as Shutdown Deadline Looms

Senate Democrats unveiled a set of immigration-enforcement reforms—ranging from tighter warrant rules and state/local coordination to an accountability framework and a “masks off, body cameras on” policy for federal agents—as conditions to support funding for the Department of Homeland Security. The push comes as Democrats push to reconfigure the funding package, with the House delayed and DHS funding set to expire, risking a partial government shutdown. Republicans say reforms should come via executive action, while Democrats indicate room to negotiate.
