Overview
- House and Senate Democrats presented a 10-point set of guardrails for ICE and CBP and said legislative text is coming soon as DHS funding runs out on Feb. 13.
- Republican leaders rejected judicial-warrant and mask-ban demands and floated priorities like curbing sanctuary policies, with Senate leaders warning a deal by the deadline is unlikely.
- Democratic leaders signaled opposition to another short-term patch for DHS, while some Republicans discussed another continuing resolution or even a yearlong extension if talks stall.
- A DHS lapse would disrupt FEMA, TSA and the Coast Guard, but ICE and CBP could largely continue operations using previously approved funding.
- DHS moved toward nationwide body cameras for immigration agents and officials said 700 federal officers will leave Minneapolis, as Trump and Schumer’s recent calls underscored uncertainty over who leads final negotiations.
