For example, a pivot from a lot of administrative warrants, less of a process, to judicial warrants for immigration arrests, which could really make it a lot more difficult for immigration authorities to get the numbers that they're seeking and some of the arrests that they're wanting to get as well.
So, obviously, on the safety end, though, Kristi Noem did announce that officers that are in Minneapolis are going to start wearing body cameras.
We could also potentially see some other compromise changes as this goes down.
We'll end up seeing what actually comes out of these talks maybe in a couple weeks.
So the SAVE Act was a piece of legislation that some members of the House wanted to be included into the spending package as it stands right now, which would have sent it back to the Senate.
Now, that doesn't seem like it's going to happen because you did see the House vote
already passed the SAVE Act.
Instead, you have a bunch of lawmakers now calling on Mitch McConnell to get that out of his committee independently and to the Senate for a floor vote and then to the president.
Now, what that act actually does is it's called documentary proof of citizenship.
And what that means is when you go and register to vote, you have to, instead of just checking a box, actually prove that you are a citizen of the United States.
Now, you have people like Schumer and
as we mentioned, saying that this is like a Jim Crow era relic, right?
But this has already been a law in a few states already.
We've seen this already in practice.
This would just take that policy nationwide.
So the hope is that the government shutdown will end today.
Obviously, you know, when it comes to Congress, things can change very rapidly.
But the goal, at least to the president, is to, you know, the House gets this out and it gets to his desk.
Keep in mind, the House already voted to back these spending bills last month before we saw some of the action in Minneapolis, which resulted in that Senate deal.
So already a lot of movement to begin with here.
