What’s happening: House Democratic leaders, led by Pete Aguilar, will brief reporters Wednesday as they press to reform ICE tactics after the fatal shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis.
Key demand: Democrats say they will block DHS funding unless legislation includes tougher use-of-force rules, independent oversight, and stronger accountability for immigration-enforcement officers.
Timing: The effort coincides with threats to invoke the Insurrection Act and a Jan. 30 deadline to avoid a partial government shutdown.
