“The Senate is on a collision course for the second shutdown since October as the two parties clash over the future of ICE,” Punchbowl News reports.
“Senate Democrats unveiled a list of demands for the DHS funding bill, sending GOP leaders and the White House scrambling ahead of Thursday’s procedural vote on a massive funding package that includes money for ICE.”
“Senate Majority Leader John Thune hoped that Democrats would be satisfied with executive actions by President Donald Trump to defuse the crisis set off by Saturday’s shooting of a Minneapolis protester by federal agents. That would ensure that the funding package doesn’t have to go back to the House, where it faces an uncertain future. But it’s clear that the massive funding bill won’t pass as-is.”
