Summary
The White House has revealed several compromises on immigration enforcement to end the government shutdown, including expanding the use of body-worn cameras for DHS agents and limiting immigration enforcement at sensitive locations. However, the administration refused to budge on demands for agents to obtain judicial warrants and go maskless. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the White House for not negotiating seriously, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune characterized the compromises as going “above and beyond”.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The White House is digging in, revealing compromises on immigration enforcement. Congressional Democrats are still not satisfied, and the shutdown continues. The administration’s concessions include expanding body-worn cameras and limiting immigration enforcement at hospitals and schools. The Democrats’ counteroffer did little to move the needle for Republicans. The negotiations seem to be stuck in a familiar pattern.
It’s past time for them to sit down and talk about it.
