… Dem Leaders in the House and Senate released 10 things they are seeking in their negotiations with Republicans on DHS funding on immigration enforcement operations:

-Judicial warrant requirement
-No masks
-Require ID on officers
-Prohibit enforcement in schools/churches
-Prohibit race-based stops
-Implement use of force standards
-Allow states to investigate misbehavior
-Set detention standards
-Must wear body cameras
-Uniform standards

… Sen. Maj. Leader John Thune: “It’s totally unrealistic, their demand list went from 3 items to 10 items. It just shows you they’re not serious. There’s a bunch of stuff in there that’s a non-starter, and they know it. Maybe they had to put it in there to satisfy MoveOn or some of their left wing special interest groups.”
