The standoff centers on Democrats’ demand for new guardrails on agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) after the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in January amid the Trump Administration’s federal immigration enforcement surge in Minneapolis. Democratic leaders have refused to advance the annual Homeland Security funding bill without several measures, including requirements for court-issued warrants before agents enter private property, clear identification and badge numbers for agents, limits on masks, expanded use of body cameras, new use-of-force standards, and ensuring independent investigations of shootings. The White House and many Republicans say the Democrats' demands would hamper agents carrying out President Donald Trump’s deportation agenda.
