Congress funding standoff fails to curb ICE tactics amid deadly Minneapolis shooting

Apr 13, 2026·Location: Minneapolis, MN

Amid a record-long Department of Homeland Security shutdown, congressional Democrats have been unable to secure reforms to ICE tactics despite withholding funding, as a $75 billion windfall from the 2024 reconciliation bill has insulated the agency from oversight. The funding fight gained renewed attention after immigration officers shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis. Democrats had sought conditions including judicial warrants for home entries and bans on officer masks, but Republicans are moving to bypass them again to keep ICE and CBP funded through the end of Trump's term.
