Democrats Demand Guardrails as Government Shutdown Looms

Democrats laid out demands for Homeland Security as the Senate prepared to vote on a government spending package. Lawmakers need to reach an agreement by the deadline on Friday to avoid a government shutdown.

“We want masks off, body cameras on. They also always have to carry proper identification. These are common sense reforms, ones that Americans know and expect from law enforcement. What we want to do is negotiate with the Republicans and come up with a proposal that, again, reins in ICE and ends the violence.” “A government shutdown is not in anybody’s interest. It would affect funding for some really important agencies of government that the American people rely on, like FEMA, particularly at a time when we’ve got a lot of weather-related disasters making their way across the country. So I hope we can get this thing back on track.”
