Inside Democrats' new push to handcuff ICE

Senator Chris Murphy is proposing significant reforms to the Department of Homeland Security following a recent incident. These reforms include requiring warrants for arrests, prohibiting masks during enforcement, and mandating Border Patrol remain at the border. This initiative represents a substantial effort by Democrats to limit ICE's authority, especially in light of shifting public opinion on immigration enforcement. Murphy aims to build a coalition of Democrats to attach these restraints to a DHS spending bill. He is reportedly in discussions with lawmakers from states where DHS has a significant presence. Murphy stated that Democrats cannot support a DHS bill that permits illegality and violence without limitations. His proposal also seeks to restrict ICE's firearm use in civil matters and enforce agent identification. Republicans are unlikely to agree to these Democratic demands, potentially leading to Democrats opposing the DHS funding bill.
