The stalemate came amid a dispute over funds for DHS, which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. Lawmakers ultimately approved a stopgap measure to keep the department funded \u2014 but only through Feb. 13.<\/p>\n<p>The short-term funding patch was designed to give lawmakers more time to negotiate how to rein in the administration&#8217;s immigration&#8217;s enforcement operation, which came under scrutiny after two deadly shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis last month. But so far, the two sides appear far from an agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Senate Democrats have given draft legislation of the DHS funding measure to Republicans, two sources told CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/dhs-funding-democrats-republicans\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">released a list of demands<\/a><\/span> last week to impose &#8220;guardrails&#8221; on DHS, including by restricting immigration agents from wearing masks and requiring them to display an ID and use body cameras. They also demanded agents be banned from entering private property without judicial warrants, along with requiring agents to verify that someone is not a U.S. citizen before holding them in immigration detention, among other things. Republicans were quick to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/senate-republicans-ice-reforms-democrats-dhs-funding-deadline\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">criticize the demands<\/a><\/span> as &#8220;unrealistic and unserious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/04\/0a60a394-666d-421b-bb33-da270a4f6c55\/thumbnail\/620x413\/e7d66333492350273862f29ff967f0f2\/gettyimages-2254929107.jpg#\" alt=\"House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer hold a news conference on Jan. 8, 2026. \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/04\/0a60a394-666d-421b-bb33-da270a4f6c55\/thumbnail\/620x413\/e7d66333492350273862f29ff967f0f2\/gettyimages-2254929107.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/04\/0a60a394-666d-421b-bb33-da270a4f6c55\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/cc853933f9f541b36b9273cc0a4d881f\/gettyimages-2254929107.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer hold a news conference on Jan. 8, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Sarah L.

But immigration operations would continue, since ICE and CBP received an influx of funds in last year&#8217;s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Jeffries said &#8220;we need to press forward aggressively and ensure that there are legislative changes enacted as part of any DHS spending bill, because that&#8217;s the way that you change behavior.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The New York Democrat argued that &#8220;these are common sense changes,&#8221; citing the demand for body cameras, judicial warrant requirements and a no-mask policy for agents, among other things.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have appeared open to some of the proposed policies, including the mandatory body cameras and bringing an end to roving patrols. But some of the demands are red lines for the GOP.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/08\/55da5a9c-4000-47ea-9917-29aba354a4cd\/thumbnail\/620x349\/59f2b612541c95fa04e1be04a5059cec\/1770574397170.png#\" alt=\"1770574397170.png \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/08\/55da5a9c-4000-47ea-9917-29aba354a4cd\/thumbnail\/620x349\/59f2b612541c95fa04e1be04a5059cec\/1770574397170.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Rep.

Under the 4th Amendment of the Constitution, a search on a U.S. citizen is prohibited unless there is a warrant issued by a judge. The administration has <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/legal-scholars-concerns-ice-policy-homes-warrants\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">relied on administrative warrants<\/a><\/span>, which are signed by immigration officials, not judges.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Administrative warrants work,&#8221; Gonzales said. &#8220;I want to give law enforcement every tool they need to go out and apprehend these convicted criminals that are loose in our community. To me, that makes a lot of sense. Why you would want to shackle your own law enforcement from keeping our community safe makes no sense to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Among the things that could see support from Republicans, Gonzales cited the mandate for body cameras, pointing to the recent move by the administration to require cameras be worn in Minneapolis. He said another area for improvement is communication.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;d be very, very key if there were communication liaisons in all the communities that ICE has,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Not changing policy, just sharing communication from the community \u2014 let&#8217;s say the city manager or let&#8217;s say city council, community leaders \u2014 up to the administration and back down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
