White House: Negotiators ‘still pretty far apart’ on DHS funding

The White House on Tuesday indicated that a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is a ways off, despite more than a week of talks between the two sides over Democratic demands to reform Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Democrats late Monday night sent a counteroffer to the White House, which Republicans had expected to arrive over the weekend. 

“In terms of the written offer that was transmitted from the Democrats, the parties are still pretty far apart,” a White House official told The Hill. 

“The Administration remains interested in good faith conversations to end the Democrat shutdown before more Americans feel the impacts,” the official continued. “But the Administration also remains committed to carrying out the President’s promise to enforce federal immigration law.”

The Democrats’ latest offer was in response to a GOP proposal that came last week, which Democrats panned as falling far short of acceptable.

“Their proposal’s not serious, plain and simple,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters as lawmakers left town for the Presidents Day weeklong recess. “It’s very far apart from what we need.”

Democrats initially sent their 10-point wish list on Feb. 4. The list is headlined by calls to tighten warrant requirements, unmask agents engaging in field operations and end roving patrols — all of which are viewed as bright red lines for Republicans.

DHS shut down on Saturday, but the majority of its employees are required to work without pay during the funding lapse.
