Dems push for tougher DHS safeguards as shutdown deadline nears
Democratic leaders blasted the White House’s DHS funding counterproposal as too weak on immigration-enforcement guardrails, as a potential DHS shutdown looms in four days. Negotiations continue with GOP leaders optimistic about a deal, while Democrats demand judicial warrants, detention standards and accountability measures for ICE. A continuing resolution is being debated, with length and timing still to be negotiated, and other House actions (including the SAVE America Act and tariff-related rules) on the docket alongside DHS testimony hearings.
