"Democrats want to mandate that immigration officers make arrests with a judicial warrant, NPR's Ximena Bustillo tells Up First. They argue that DHS-issued administrative warrants, which are not signed by a judge, raise questions about violations of people's constitutional rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. While some Republicans are interested in negotiating, others, like House Speaker Mike Johnson, have already discouraged it. Lawmakers also disagree on whether agents should wear face coverings."
"President Trump says he is more optimistic than ever about a deal. Trump asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to pause strikes on Ukraine while negotiations were underway. Russia held off for a couple of nights, but the strikes resumed Monday night, says NPR's Eleanor Beardsley, who is in the Ukrainian capital. However, there has been significant progress on security guarantees. These are crucial to Ukraine in ensuring Russia doesn't use its gains as a launching pad for a future reinvasion."
The House voted 217 to 214 to fund most government offices through September, ending the partial federal government shutdown. Congress has fewer than two weeks to negotiate the Department of Homeland Security budget and potential changes to immigration enforcement. Democrats seek to require judicial warrants for immigration arrests and to ban agents from wearing face coverings; Republicans are divided and House leadership has discouraged some negotiations. Peace talks to end the war in Ukraine resume in Abu Dhabi with Ukrainian, Russian, and U.S. participants. President Trump expressed optimism and requested a pause in strikes; strikes briefly paused then resumed. Progress on security guarantees and potential European peacekeeping deployment was reported.
