The sticking point.
Reforms to a section within the department.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or Ice.
Some members of Congress are demanding reforms after two deadly Ice related shootings in Minneapolis and other incidents involving Ice agents or Border Patrol.
Congressman Morgan McGarvey, a Democrat from Louisville, talked about Ice last night during a telephone town hall.
>> We have seen ice terrorizing our communities all over this country.
They've been separating families.
They've been detaining kids.
They're using kids as bait, dragging people from their cars, not using warrants, going into people's homes, pinning parents to the ground in the pickup lines of their kids school.
We have even seen them murder people in broad daylight on our city streets.
This is something that has to stop.
So the Senate Democrats negotiated a series of reforms they want to see happen.
These are basic, common sense things.
First of all, Ice agents have to take their masks off.
Second, they have to identify what law enforcement agency with third mandate body cameras be worn and be on.
And fourth, make sure that there are judicial warrants before Ice comes into your home to go after you.
Basic common sense stuff.
This is something that every law enforcement officer in Jefferson County is already required to do.
If you want my opinion on this, this is the bare minimum.
I mean, we're talking bare minimum of what needs to be done.
I personally, I don't think this Ice agency can be fixed, and it's why I have refused to send any money, let alone billions of dollars, to this agency.

McGarvey says that's for her handling of Ice and also her negligence.
