Share:
This was a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security. After federal immigration agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis, Democrats demanded reforms—including body cameras, a ban on agents concealing their identities with masks, and judicial warrants for arrests. Republicans refused. The bill could not get the 60 votes required to end debate, triggering a shutdown at midnight on February 14.

Why this is Complicity
A vote for this bill meant approving how the administration has been conducting immigration enforcement—masked agents, no body cameras, warrantless arrests, and a pattern of violence that killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis. Some lawmakers forced a partial shutdown rather than fund more of the same.
