Schumer and Jeffries Propose Immigration Enforcement Restrictions

Schumer and Jeffries outlined proposed restrictions on immigration enforcement as part of negotiations over Department of Homeland Security funding ahead of a Feb. 13 deadline. The proposals drew Republican criticism, and coverage described a funding lapse as a possibility. Center outlets largely present the restrictions as part of the funding negotiations, with some coverage stressing shutdown risk and differences between Schumer and Jeffries over an extension.
