US President Donald Trump and Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer moved on Wednesday night to reach an agreement to negotiate new restrictions on federal immigration agents, potentially averting a government shutdown, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing officials familiar with the matter. The White House and a spokesperson for Schumer did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. The report comes after the Senate Democrats called for new restrictions on immigration agents earlier in the day, paving the way for a partial US government shutdown this weekend. Democrats have said that they will not agree to extend DHS funding through September without new limits on Trump's immigration crackdown. Minority leader Schumer said earlier in the day that DHS agents including ICE must stop wearing face masks, use body cameras, and follow the same use-of-force rules as local police.
