BlockBeats News, February 12 — The White House is rushing to prevent a government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security at the last minute, submitting legislative text to the Democrats before the funding deadline. It is expected that the Democrats will reject the proposal, claiming that the previous proposal is “neither complete nor sufficient.” Senate Democrats have stated that negotiations have reached a deadlock and insist that they will not support any new temporary funding measures unless an agreement is reached on a ten-point plan to reform U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Senator Jacky Rosen criticized the White House’s response for lacking details and accused the Republican Party of relying on short-term extensions to avoid broader immigration reform. (Jin10)
