Senate Democrats reject GOP offer to reopen DHS, partially fund ICE [View all]

Republicans endorsed by President Trump to fund almost all of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) while setting aside some funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to end the partial government shutdown that has now stretched to 39 days.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters Tuesday that Democrats would submit a counteroffer to Republicans and declared that his party will still insist on reforms to “rein in” ICE — demands that Republicans have repeatedly rebuffed.

“We have to rein in ICE and stop the violence. We need reform,” Schumer said at a press conference after meeting with his Democratic colleagues at lunch Tuesday. “Every one of my colleagues, every one, A, believes we should be unified, and, B, we need reforms of ICE — every single one.”
