White House Denies Democrats' Request To Talk DHS FundingThe White House on Monday turned down a request from Senate Democrats to discuss funding the Department of Homeland Security, according to a person familiar with the matter."Hopefully, a meeting gets set soon once Senate Republicans and the White House get on the same page," the source told HuffPost.Bipartisan talks on resolving the DHS funding stalemate had made some progress, particularly on requiring federal immigration agents to wear body-worn cameras, sensitive location enforcement, training standards, and officer IDs. However, the two sides don't agree on other Democratic demands, such as prohibiting federal agents from wearing masks and requiring that they obtain judicial warrants before forcibly entering homes.President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that he told GOP senators to "not settle" or make a deal with Democrats on DHS funding without also passing his voting and transgender policy bill, the "SAVE America Act," which is going nowhere in the Senate.See All UpdatesClose
