WASHINGTON—Congressional Democrats have outlined 10 conditions they say must be met before they will support a full-year funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), focusing largely on new restrictions for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Some of these requirements include requiring immigration agents to wear body cameras, be maskless, and carry identification.
