Announcement comes as anger toward DHS – which oversees ICE – intensifies after Alex Pretti fatally shot

In the wake of another fatal shooting of a US citizen in Minnesota by a federal officer, the Senate Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer, said Saturday evening that his party will block a funding package next week if it includes money for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The announcement, which dramatically escalates the potential for another government shutdown, comes as anger toward DHS, which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) intensifies among the party after a group of federal agents violently restrained and then fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis Saturday morning.
