"A group of around 10 Senate Democrats is coalescing around a list of demands for changes at DHS, including requiring warrants for arrests and mandating that federal agents identify themselves, multiple sources said. The group also wants to demand that DHS cooperate with state and local investigations into incidents like the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota."
"And the clock is ticking, with government funding set to partially lapse at the end of the day Friday. The big picture: Senate Democrats left a nearly hour-and-a-half virtual meeting on Sunday evening mostly unified around the idea of rejecting government funding if it meant that funding for DHS was included, sources said. On that call, Schumer said that Democrats would be able to pass all other remaining government funding bills, just not the current DHS package, the sources said."

The group seeks DHS cooperation with state and local investigations into incidents such as the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota. Some moderate Democrats may resist the demands, echoing divisions from last year's government shutdown battle. Government funding is set to partially lapse at the end of Friday. Senate Democrats left a nearly hour-and-a-half virtual meeting mostly unified around rejecting government funding if DHS funding remained included. Schumer said Democrats could pass other funding bills but would not advance a broader package that included the current DHS bill.
