congress immigration budget shutdown minneapolis.

The shooting deaths of two American citizens at the hands of federal law enforcement in Minneapolis have upended the politics of the Trump administration’s deportation agenda. Democrats have awakened to what they see as a moral moment for the country. At the same time, Republicans who have championed President Donald Trump’s tough approach to immigration are signaling second thoughts. It all comes as Congress faces a Friday deadline to approve funding for Homeland Security and other agencies or risk a partial shutdown. Democrats say they won’t provide the security funds without restraints and changes to the immigration and deportation operation.
