House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Tuesday a GOP counterproposal on Department of Homeland Security funding is “woefully inadequate” and shows the White House “is clearly not open to” several key Democratic demands.

Speaking four days ahead of a DHS shutdown deadline, Jeffries said the Republican offer did not satisfactorily address a need for judicial warrants, detention center standards, independent investigations and excessive-force standards. Asked about whether the Trump administration would support a prohibition on masks for federal agents, Jeffries said, “That’s an open question.”

“They don’t appear to be open to … ensuring that ICE agents are identifiable in a manner consistent with every other law enforcement agency in the country,” Jeffries said.

Also speaking Tuesday morning, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he believed there was still room for compromise, with support from at least seven Senate Democrats needed for any shutdown-averting stopgap measure.

“There are things I think on probably both sides that are non-negotiables,” he said. “But I do think there are a number of things in the range of common ground.”

Speaking on the Senate floor, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer struck a more cautious tone than Jeffries, saying Democrats “need to see more from Republicans very soon.”

“What Democrats propose is the definition of common sense, he said. “We simply want ICE to follow the same standards that most law enforcement agencies across America already follow.”

Speaker Mike Johnson said in an interview Tuesday he will push ahead an afternoon vote to ban challenges to President Donald Trump’s global tariffs over committed internal GOP opposition.

Language tucked into a procedural measure would forestall votes on privileged resolutions of disapproval through July 31, reviving a ban that expired Jan. 31 as Democrats plan to push fresh tariff votes as soon as Wednesday. But Johnson is facing growing GOP backlash to the move from a band of tariff-skeptical House Republicans.

Two of them, Reps. Kevin Kiley of California and Thomas Massie of Kentucky, told Blue Light News they will oppose the rule — enough to tank the procedural vote if all Democrats vote against it as expected. Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) also said she is a “no” on the procedural vote, though she is known to change her mind on the floor.

Inside a closed-door conference meeting Tuesday morning, Johnson told House Republicans he was going ahead with the vote, arguing to members that they needed to wait until the Supreme Court rules on Trump’s tariff powers, according to three people in the room granted anonymity to describe the private meeting. That ruling could comes as late as the end of June.

Majority Leader Steve Scalise declined to say if GOP leaders would have the vote to adopt the blockade language, telling a Blue Light News reporter to “ask the whip questions about vote coalitions.”

Do we have a negotiation or a stalemate?

The answer to that question will determine whether the Department of Homeland Security shuts down in just four days, and Tuesday morning, it’s not entirely clear which way things are headed.

Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries panned a White House counterproposal sent to them Monday evening as too light on details for how to rein in President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda.

— Dems vs. White House: “The initial GOP response is both incomplete and insufficient in terms of addressing the concerns Americans have about ICE’s lawless conduct,” the leaders said in a statement. “Democrats await additional detail and text.”

That’s far from a “hell no,” but expect to hear more later Tuesday morning on where Democrats stand after Jeffries and Schumer meet with their respective caucuses.

Neither side is saying exactly what the GOP counter to the 10-point Democratic offer entails, but White House allies made clear Monday that one key Democratic demand — requiring federal law enforcement officials to obtain judicial warrants before entering private property — is dead on arrival.

Other Democratic asks — including a mask prohibition, ID display requirements and limits on places where agents can operate — would need major concessions from Democrats to make them palatable for the administration, several people close to the White House said.

But the trading of offers is giving GOP leaders optimism that a deal is possible. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he’ll probably get the ball rolling on a continuing resolution Tuesday to give negotiators more time to strike a deal.

— About that CR: Whether a stopgap can pass depends almost entirely on the tenor of DHS talks come Thursday, when senators are hoping to leave town.

Republicans need at least seven votes from Senate Democrats to prevent a DHS shutdown, and some Senate Democrats continue to signal they could be convinced — if there’s a bona fide negotiation.

“It depends on whether we’re making progress or not,” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) told reporters Monday. “We’ve got some time. Hopefully people will be working to try and get something done.”

Also undecided is how long a short-term DHS funding punt might run. GOP appropriators want at least two weeks, but the exact length “will have to be negotiated,” Thune said.

What else we’re watching:   

— A high-stakes rule vote: House GOP leaders will attempt to adopt a rule Tuesday that includes language to block votes on President Donald Trump’s global tariffs through July after Democrats threatened to move as soon as Wednesday to overturn the president’s levies on Canada.

It could get hairy: Under the current member math, as few as two GOP defections could block adoption of the rule. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is a no. Keep an eye on Reps. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) and Tom McClintock (R-Calif.).

— SAVE America Act inches forward: The House will consider the SAVE America Act in Rules Tuesday despite the uncertain future in the Senate for the GOP elections overhaul. It’s on track to hit the House floor Wednesday.

The four Democrats who supported a version of the bill in April — Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Ed Case of Hawaii, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Jared Golden of Maine — have so far been mum on whether they will support the updated measure. Jeffries said House Democrats will discuss the measure Tuesday morning.

— DHS officials take the stand: House Homeland Security Committee members will question DHS officials Tuesday morning for the first time since last month’s fatal shootings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti sparked bipartisan backlash against the Trump administration.

Acting director for ICE Todd Lyons, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edlow will testify.

While Democrats are expected to give the officials a fierce grilling, some Republicans will also likely push them for more clarity on ICE operations.
