WASHINGTON (AP) —House Speaker Mike Johnson faces tough days ahead trying to muscle a federal funding package to passage and prevent a prolonged partial government shutdown as debate intensifies over the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration enforcement operations. J
Democrats in the Senate and House are seeking new constraints on federal immigration agents after the shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis. The Democratic demands include:
1. Ending “roving patrols” in cities and requiring coordination with local law enforcement on immigration arrests
2. Stopping the detention and deportation of U.S. citizens
3. Requiring judicial approval for warrants
4. Implementing an enforceable code of conduct for federal agents and giving them enhanced training
5. Requiring agents to wear body cameras and unmask
Republicans are open to some of the changes, but have drawn a line on judicial warrants and unmasking. They say the warrants would be onerous and warn that unmasked federal agents would face doxxing — the publishing of their private info online.
