Rep. Ro Khanna Urges House Democrats to Reject Proposal to Reopen Government Without Addressing ICE Concerns

Rep. Ro Khanna of California urged House Democrats to reject a proposal to reopen parts of the federal government, citing concerns about the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency's actions. The government shutdown, affecting various departments, was triggered after a deal between President Trump and Senate Democrats. The House is set to vote on reopening the government on Monday, with the exception of the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE. Khanna emphasized the need to separate ICE funding from other government spending and address concerns about the agency's actions. House Republicans are expected to support the Senate-passed bill to reopen the government.
