Republicans accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., of “trying to handcuff” immigration enforcement as Democrats refused to advance a bill to keep government open on Thursday.
“Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats are trying to handcuff [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] because their party is committed to open borders,” Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., told The Daily Signal.
“We must hold the line and support ICE.”Schumer, motivated by the immigration enforcement-involved fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, laid out demands for keeping the government open on Wednesday.
ICE agents and other immigration enforcement officers wear masks due to efforts to dox ICE agents.
Until those demands are met, Schumer has indicated that Democrats will continue to strike down funding legislation for the Department of Homeland Security.
