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.

"Vermont Sheriff Faces Calls for Resignation Amid Controversy"

The Vermont Sheriffs' Association has called for Franklin County Sheriff John Grismore to resign immediately following the revocation of his police certification due to a violation of the state's use-of-force policy. The association argues that Grismore's actions have negatively impacted public confidence in law enforcement across Vermont. While the revocation does not remove him from office, it will impair his ability to fulfill policing responsibilities. Grismore also faces potential impeachment, an assault charge, and a financial mishandling investigation. The association has informed Grismore of their decision, but he has not responded.

$13M Settlement Reached in Fatal Shooting by School Safety Officer

The family of Mona Rodriguez, an 18-year-old girl who was shot and killed by a school safety officer in Long Beach, California, has reached a record $13 million settlement with the Long Beach Unified School District. The officer, Eddie Gonzalez, was caught on video shooting into a car in which Rodriguez was a passenger. The LBUSD's use of force policy states that mandated officers cannot shoot into a moving vehicle and cannot shoot at fleeing persons. Gonzalez has plead not guilty and is awaiting trial for second-degree murder. The settlement has not been formally approved in court, and the LBUSD said they cannot discuss the details of the lawsuit.
