Democrats officially released their list of demands for reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, pressing Republicans to implement the changes in the pending spending package ahead of the government shutdown deadline at the end of this week. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., laid out the three main demands after a closed-door meeting with Senate Democrats on Wednesday just one day before the Senate is scheduled to vote on the final spending package to fund the federal government.

Patty Murray, the top Democratic appropriator who helped negotiate the current funding package. That meeting was requested before Democrats unveiled their demands.
