ICE Accountability a ‘Requirement’ For DHS Funding, Says Rep. Gregory Meeks

New York Democrat Representative Gregory Meeks said that ICE accountability is ‘not an option, it’s a requirement’ for Congress to pass funding to DHS and avoid a partial shutdown. Democrats have pushed for reforms to ICE protocols including body worn cameras and removing face masks tied to funding for the agency. Meeks, the top Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, also said President Trump should come to Congress for authorization before conducting another strike on Iran, which would have wide-reaching effects in the region.
