Democrats push ICE reforms in DHS funding standoff

Democrats transmitted a counteroffer on immigration-enforcement reforms to the White House and Republicans as DHS funding remains stalled; their proposals include ending roving ICE patrols, a formal use-of-force code, body cameras for agents, and banning masks, with safety concerns cited by Republicans. President Trump said he would meet with Democrats this week, but no deal is imminent and the shutdown persists with DHS agencies operating on limited funds while lawmakers are away.
