Democrats Push Back on GOP Funding Plan

Wait 5 sec.

Senate Democrats plan to send a counteroffer to Republicans on DHS funding that “will contain significant reforms,” Punchbowl News reports.Said Sen. Chuck Schumer: “Every Democrat in my caucus has been consistent all along — we have to rein in ICE and stop the violence. We need reforms. This does not have any reforms to ICE.”“Schumer’s comments come after Senate Majority Leader John Thune rebuffed Democrats’ demands for additional provisions to rein in ICE’s operations and tactics. Thune has proposed funding all of DHS except for $5.5 billion in ICE enforcement funding, adding that Republicans would pursue the latter through budget reconciliation.”
