Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer blasted Republican efforts to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without major reforms, calling the recent vote to block the DHS funding advance “a shot across the bow to Republicans.” Schumer said Democrats will not approve a funding bill that amounts to a “blank check for chaos,” signaling firm opposition to the way DHS and its agencies, particularly ICE and CBP, have been operating amid heated backlash over immigration enforcement.
Schumer and his caucus have tied their votes to demands for sweeping changes in immigration enforcement practices, including greater accountability and oversight after incidents such as recent shootings involving federal agents. Their stance has contributed to a standoff that risks a partial shutdown of DHS and several of its key agencies if Congress doesn’t agree on a revised funding package.
