The package would keep ICE funding essentially flat at $10 billion for the rest of the fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, even as the agency received $75 billion of additional money for detention and enforcement from Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”

Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, the top Democratic appropriator, acknowledged that the package did not include broad reforms to rein in ICE in a statement from her office announcing the bill. But she endorsed the package, saying it would prevent a partial shutdown and arguing that it did include some Democratic priorities.

The bipartisan deal would allocate $20 million for the “procurement, deployment, and operations of body worn cameras” for ICE personnel. And the bill “encourages” DHS to develop and implement a new uniform policy “to ensure that law enforcement officers are clearly identifiable as Federal law enforcement,” according to DeLauro’s office.

...

Democrats had sought policies such as requiring ICE agents to wear identification and barring masks during enforcement operations, as well as measures to prevent the detention and deportation of American citizens.

Democrats never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. I get that abolishing ICE while Trump is in office isn't gonna happen, but that they aren't even trying to do anything at all is pretty much malicious incompetence.

Man fuck this. This is EXACTLY why I hate that my options are “actively evil” and “passively evil”.

Shut it down. Shut it all the fuck down!

I don't even want the Democrats to condition it on demands anymore. I just want them to obstruct completely as a matter of principle that fascist government is worse than none at all.
