Chapter 1: What funding issues are currently facing the U.S. government?
A funding fight in the U.S. Senate. On Lisa Brady, Fox News. Six spending bills needed to avoid a government shutdown are stalled in the Senate as Democrats push for immigration enforcement changes.
We believe that there should be a prohibition on ICE deporting or detaining American citizens. We believe that ICE should conduct itself like every other law enforcement agency in the country.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says he's in lockstep with the Senate Minority Leader supporting five of the bills, but not the Homeland Security portion. Bipartisan work is underway on possible solutions, but likely not in time to avoid a partial shutdown tomorrow night.
Borders are Tom Holman says the president's immigration enforcement mission will not be abandoned, but that improvements can be made. Announcing one key change after a meeting with the Minnesota Attorney General.
Local and state jails are going to cooperate with ICE, meaning they're going to call them up and let them know before releasing criminal illegal migrants back onto the streets. Now, by allowing ICE in the jails, Holman says they could scale back on federal agents in the communities, really making it safer for everyone involved.
Fox is Brooke Taylor in Minneapolis, but Mayor Jacob Fry isn't saying whether city jails will comply. He does tell the U.S. Conference of Mayors the federal surge in Minneapolis needs to end.
This kind of conduct and siege needs to stop, not just in Minneapolis. It needs to stop nationwide.
South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham says sanctuary city policies are the root cause problem.

Chapter 2: How is ICE's role in immigration enforcement changing?
The agency has said it does not expect a potential government shutdown to impact refunds. Hundreds of thousands of members of the Teamsters Union are throwing support behind a proposed billionaire's tax in California. It would be a one-time 5% wealth tax.
The Teamsters say they support the tax because they believe it would help remedy growing wealth inequality in the state. The California Billionaire Tax Act was initially proposed by the union United Healthcare Workers West, which argues that the money is needed to make up for massive federal funding cuts to healthcare made by the Trump administration.
But the temporary tax windfall for California would likely be coupled with a long-term decrease in state income tax revenue due to billionaires leaving the state. The tax proposals detractors include California Governor Gavin Newsom, who called it really damaging and predicted that the measure would be defeated. Max Gordon, Fox Business.
