DHS Funding Standoff: Immigration Enforcement Restrictions

Democrats and the United States===White House are engaged in tense negotiations over new restrictions on immigration enforcement agencies, particularly United States===United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as funding for the Department of Homeland Security is set to expire. The United States===Democratic Party (United States) demands judicial warrants, better officer identification, and stricter use-of-force standards, citing recent fatal shootings by federal agents. The United States===White House has offered a counterproposal, but some Democratic demands are considered 'nonstarters'. Republicans have their own demands, including voter citizenship proof and restrictions on 'sanctuary cities'. A failure to reach an agreement by Saturday could lead to a partial government shutdown, affecting agencies like the United States===Federal Emergency Management Agency and the United States===Transportation Security Administration, and potentially causing travel problems.
