The text of this reporting on several Dem representatives publicly feeling out another govt shutdown to halt Noem and the DHS. @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social being cowards as usual. This is something real we can pressure our reps to do.
Rank-and-file Democrats are starting to make serious noise about using the threat of a government shutdown to force substantive changes at ICE. Why it matters: Their anger, after an ICE officer shot and killed a 37-year-old woman Wednesday in Minneapolis, sets them on a collision course with party leaders. • Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said earlier this week that a shutdown was not on the table. • House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), asked if the appropriations process should be used to constrain ICE, told Axios: "We're focused right now on... advancing the Affordable Care Act tax credits."

Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) told Axios. "And we should be opposing the hundreds of billions of dollars going to a lawless agency." The other side: Among the Republicans defending ICE after the shooting are several members of leadership, including House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and House Republican conference chair Lisa McClain (R-Mich.). • "Our brave ICE agents put their lives on the line ever…
