<\/p>\n

The killing of\u00a0Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minnesota has sparked a potential funding battle just as the federal government faces another shutdown deadline on Jan. 30.<\/p>\n

\n

Democrats in Congress are considering ways to rein in President Donald Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown after the fatal shooting, and legislation to fund the Department of Homeland Security could be one vehicle for it.<\/p>\n

Sen. Chris Murphy, the ranking Democrat on the subcommittee that oversees the DHS budget, plans to introduce legislation that would require agents to have warrants for arrests, ban them from wearing masks during enforcement operations, limit the use of guns by ICE during civil actions, and restrict the Border Patrol to the border.<\/p>\n

He is trying to gather enough Democrats who will demand guardrails on DHS\u00a0in exchange for their votes to pass a spending bill for the department, sources told Axios.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn\u2019t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency,\u201d Murphy said in a post on X on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

At least one Republican, Sen. Sen. Lisa Murkowski from Alaska, has called for policy changes, saying the shooting in Minnesota \u201cwas devastating, and cannot happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe videos I\u2019ve seen from Minneapolis yesterday are deeply disturbing,\u201d she said in a statement. \u201cAs we mourn this loss of life, we need a thorough and objective investigation into how and why this happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some Democrats in the House, where Republicans hold a razor-thin majority that has gotten narrower, have also said legislation for DHS appropriations should be used as leverage.<\/p>\n

And Rep.\u00a0Adriano Espaillat, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, suggested at a news conference Friday that Democrats should take an even more aggressive stance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was of the belief that perhaps we could reform ICE. Now I am of the belief that it has to be dismantled as an entity,\u201d he said. \u201cThis unaccounted for violence is part of its culture. And so we must dismantle it and build it from the ground up again.\u201d<\/p>\n

But after the longest government shutdown ever last fall took a heavy toll on the economy and social services, top Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have signaled they want to avoid another one a few months later.<\/p>\n

Still, House Speaker Mike Johnson admitted on Friday he\u2019s concerned Democrats\u2019 targeting of immigration enforcement funding could interfere with overall negotiations on government appropriations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should not be limiting funding for Homeland Security at a dangerous time,\u201d Johnson said, according to Politico. \u201cWe need officials to allow law enforcement to do their job. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is a critically important function of the government. It is a top concern for Americans, as demonstrated by the last election cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
