The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is facing a partial shutdown Friday with Democrats refusing to push a funding bill forward without immigration agent reform. The legislative gridlock comes weeks after the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good at the hands of ICE agents in Minneapolis.

“The path forward is simple. Negotiate serious guardrails that protect Americans, rein in ICE and stop the violence,” Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said.

Some of the reforms Democrats are calling for include no masks on Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, body cameras and better practices for obtaining warrants.

As Reggie Cecchini reports, it’s not a total funding gap, as 44,000 of the 272,000 employees at the DHS would continue to get paid.
