Wasserman Shultz: Need ‘Comprehensive Agreement’ on ICE

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz (D-FL) said before Democrats vote to fund DHS there needs to be a “comprehensive agreement” that reins in immigration agents and stops abusive actions like those seen in Minnesota

— The Trump administration is retreating from its immigration-enforcement blitz in Minnesota, pulling back after more than two months of operations that left two US citizens dead, spurred massive protests and torpedoed support for one of President Donald Trump’s signature policies. 
The drawdown in forces, outlined Thursday by White House border czar Tom Homan, marks a major step to deescalate an operation that sparked congressional scrutiny of the administration’s tactics. The immigration crackdown has also sparked a fight in Congress, where Senate Democrats are opposing a measure to fund DHS unless they secure changes to Trump’s enforcement policies, raising the risk of a partial government shutdown that would start Saturday.
