Trump and Chuck Schumer Clash as Homeland Security Shutdown Enters Second Day
A partial government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security began after Donald Trump and congressional Democrats failed to reach a funding agreement regarding immigration oversight.Chuck Schumer is demanding that federal agents wear body cameras and remove face masks following the fatal shootings of two citizens by immigration officers in Minneapolis.Tom Homan rejected these proposals by citing a massive increase in threats against personnel while noting that 270,000 employees are working without pay.The impasse persists while agencies like the Transportation Security Administration face strain and immigration services utilize $139B from previous legislation.
