U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) stated in an X post at 9:22 p.m. UTC on January 24, 2026, that she will vote against any government funding package containing DHS funding until guardrails ensure accountability for ICE, citing abuses including the deaths of two Americans in Minneapolis in less than a month. Rosen described ICE actions in Minneapolis and across the country as "un-American," claiming the agency targets law-abiding immigrants, those with asylum or legal protections, and U.S. citizens who disagree with tactics, according to her X post. She stated, "Enough is enough. We need to rein in ICE’s out of control conduct." Axios reporter Jake Sherman posted over the past hour that the ICE situation presents a nightmare for the Senate, with Democrats unable to support the six-bill funding package including DHS funding, risking a government shutdown on Friday as the first procedural vote may not occur until Wednesday, per his X post. A POLITICO poll released over the past hour found 49% of Americans view President Trump's mass deportation campaign as too aggressive, with emerging discomfort among his base, according to an X post by Politico reporter Erin Doherty linking to the article. The announcement follows a DHS statement at 5:42 p.m. UTC confirming Border Patrol officers fatally shot an armed suspect resisting arrest during an ICE operation near Nicollet and 27th streets at 9:05 a.m. CT, after which approximately 200 rioters assaulted officers.
