Senate Majority Leader John Thune dismissed Democrats’ list of demands to curb the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement posture as political messaging rather than an opening bid in negotiations on a funding deal for the Department of Homeland Security.

The two parties have just eight days to reach an agreement or risk a shutdown at the department at the center of the ongoing immigration crackdown. 

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries listed 10 restrictions they want placed on federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol in a letter late Wednesday to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Thune.
