Senate Passage Of Government Spending Package In Doubt As Democrats Seek Changes To DHS Funding

WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 28: U.S. Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says "Okay. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you to Senators Murray and Padilla for being here. Well, what the American people are seeing right now is not just horrifying. It's a direct result of choices and policies implemented by the Trump administration. The killings of Renee Goode and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Tragic killing seen now by millions and millions of Americans are horrific and can never be accepted. And it helps importune us, to reign in ICE and end the violence. Under President Trump, Secretary Noem and Stephen Miller. Ice has been unleashed without guardrails. They violate constitutional rights all the time. And they're deliberately refusing to coordinate with state and local law enforcement. This is not border security. This is not law and order. This is chaos created at the top and felt in so many of our neighborhoods." during a news briefing after the weekly Senate Democratic Policy Luncheon at the U.S. Capitol on January 28, 2026 in Washington, DC.
