Punchbowl News: “Saturday’s horrific shooting — and the Trump administration’s handling of the aftermath — galvanized Senate Democrats, who quickly united on a strategy to block the six-bill FY2026 funding package unless the DHS funding, which includes ICE, is stripped out and renegotiated. This would require the House to vote again. And that’s a serious problem since the chamber is on recess all week.”
“A big shift? House and Senate Democrats want fundamental changes to how ICE operates in cities around the country. Trump and top administration officials have, up until now, shown few signs of changing course in his nationwide immigration crackdown.”
“However, Trump told the Wall Street Journal’s Josh Dawsey Sunday night that the Pretti shooting will be reviewed and the Minnesota-focused ICE surge will end ‘at some point.’ Inside the administration, there’s a stark realization that the Minneapolis shootings have been catastrophic politically, and they’re losing ground on an issue that Republicans have dominated.”
