House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Wednesday outlined their 10 demands to pass a Department of Homeland Security funding bill ahead of the Feb. 13 deadline.
Their 10 demands, which revolve around changes to immigration enforcement, include:
Bar DHS officers from entering private property without a judicial warrant
Ban ICE and immigration officers from wearing masks
Require officers to display their name, ID number and agency they work for
Restrict operations near schools, churches, polling places and medical and child care facilities
Prohibit execution of stops based on individuals’ jobs, ethnicity, race, language or accent
Pass a “reasonable use of force policy”
Allow state and local governments to investigate and prosecute potential crimes and cases of excessive force
Allow states to sue the Department of Homeland Security
Mandate body cameras on officers
Regulate and standardize the uniforms and equipment that DHS officers can use
Republicans have already rejected the anti-mask and judicial warrant proposals.
The DHS is the one area of the government that is not funded through the end of the fiscal year, Sept. 30.
