Backlash to Trump emboldens Democrats on DHS and ICE as partial shutdown looms

(NBC News) WASHINGTON — Americans are souring on the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, complicating an already messy dynamic on Capitol Hill as emboldened Democrats draw a hard line against another short-term funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security.

Just over four days until funding runs out, key members of the Senate Democratic Caucus say they won’t support another continuing resolution, or “CR,” to prevent a shutdown of DHS beginning this weekend.

“What ICE is doing is unconscionable, and it’s got to be reined in. I can’t, in good conscience, vote for it,” Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, told NBC News. “I would feel complicit in what they are doing.”
