no fan of jeffries, but holy shit is this article misleading. in the press briefing he calls for "a prohibition that DHS cannot *detain* or deport American citizens", and his focus throughout the briefing is on the detainment part
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand a ban on the deportation of American citizens as a condition of winning their support for legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Yes. It's a terribly written headline and summary article by a writer at The Hill of all publications about the press briefing.
Here's a thread that discusses the different focuses of the article vs the briefing.

the bit the article is quoting is in response to a reporter *specifically* asking him about a ban on deporting citizens, and his response clearly comes from incredulity that that’s even a question

Haven't gone through fine print myself yet, but this post was close to yours in my "For You" feed here; the journalists may be fixated on the deport part when what Jeffries is targeting is the detainment? bsky.app/profile/derv...

also whether or not any of this is already illegal that doesn’t matter if there’s no way to investigate & seek remedies, which is most of what he talks about in the briefing
