Border czar Tom Homan has met with Democratic senators in hopes of ending the partial Department of Homeland Security shutdown, which has lasted over a month and is causing disruption to air travel. The meeting did not include Sen. Chuck Schumer, a sign that the White House may be trying to bypass him in negotiations. The two sides are still negotiating over reforms to President Trump's mass deportation campaign, which Democrats are demanding in exchange for voting to fully DHS. The liberal and progressive Democrats have ruled out compromise on their demands for major reforms to Trump's immigration crackdown. They also want agents to stop wearing masks and obtain warrants to enter private homes or businesses as they investigate suspected undocumented immigrants.
