Chapter 1: What potential deal is being discussed to limit government shutdown?
There could be a deal. I'm Lisa Lucera, Fox News. Late word from the office of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of a deal that would limit a government shutdown. Earlier, seven Republicans in the Senate sided with Democrats to kill a package of six bills that included funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham voted for the legislation, but said he does agree that reforms are needed for ICE.
I don't mind having some reasonable reforms and learning from the mistakes. But here's what I'm telling my Democratic friends. That's a Band-Aid. The cancer is the sanctuary city policy adopted by 12 states that creates chaos for the rest of the 38.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
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.

Sean Grayson gets a 20-year prison sentence for the murder of Sonia Massey on July 6, 2024. She reported a possible prowler outside her home in Springfield, Illinois. Inside, with another deputy, Grayson orders Massey to remove a pot of hot water from the stove and put it down. She says, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. He threatens to shoot her.
She says, I'm sorry, puts her hands up and ducks behind a counter. He approaches, there's confusion, and then she's shot in the face. Grayson says he thought Massey was going to throw hot water at him. The other deputy testified there was no threat. Massey was 36 years old, black, a single mother with mental health problems that had been reported to police.
Grayson is white, 31, convicted in October of second-degree murder.
