Senate Democrats late Tuesday sent the White House a new counteroffer to fund the Department of Homeland Security, which has been under a partial shutdown for more than one month. The Trump administration has so far ignored several demands from Democrats, such as requiring officers to obtain a judicial warrant to enter private homes, and to address the excessive use of force by immigration agents. Earlier Tuesday, the administration signaled that it was open to enforcing “the use of visible officer identification,” though Trump officials have not conceded to prohibiting officers from wearing face coverings. This comes as Trump’s homeland security secretary nominee, Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin, is set to appear before a Senate committee today as his confirmation process begins. Trump appointed Mullin to replace Kristi Noem, who was fired from the position earlier this month.
