WASHINGTON—Senate Democrats on Jan. 28 unveiled broad outlines of their proposed changes to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and immigration enforcement, coming amid a looming Friday deadline to pass funding for DHS and five other departments.
“Our caucus is united, is unified over three main legislative objectives,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said during a Wednesday news conference, indicating that the three demands would need to be met to win Democratic support for a bill to fund DHS and its subsidiary agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
