White House Offers Concessions On DHS Funding To End Shutdown

The White House sent a letter, obtained by the Daily Caller, to Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins and Alabama Sen. Katie Britt on Tuesday offering five points of concessions to reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The DHS has been shutdown since Feb. 14, after lawmakers couldn’t agree to reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The administration has blamed Democrats for refusing to budge and vote on the issue.

The White House outlined five reforms they’re willing to grant Democrats, including expanding body–worn cameras by DHS law enforcement, limiting civil immigration enforcement activities at some sensitive locations, increasing oversight of DHS detention facilities, enforcing visible officer identification and not deporting U.S. citizens.
