Jeffries balks at DHS/ICE funding bill amid push for tighter ICE oversight

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries told his caucus he opposes the DHS/ICE funding bill, saying it lacks the accountability measures Democrats requested. Several Democrats spoke against it in a closed-door meeting, while some centrists remained undecided as MoveOn and other groups pressure against ICE funding. The DHS funding measure is expected to pass the House mostly along party lines, with a separate bipartisan minibus package likely to advance too.
