With lawmakers away from Washington, D.C., for the weekend, the shutdown is set to stretch into a third week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/agency-nabbed-el-chapo-diddy-threatened-democrats-dhs-shutdown-drags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>AGENCY THAT NABBED &#8216;EL CHAPO,&#8217; &#8216;DIDDY&#8217; THREATENED AS DEMOCRATS&#8217; DHS SHUTDOWN DRAGS ON<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The latest development comes after a week of stalled negotiations between Senate Democrats and the administration, along with concerns that an off-ramp from the shutdown remained out of reach.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/chuck-schumer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chuck Schumer,<\/a> D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., both acknowledged receiving the offer in a joint statement Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have received the White House\u2019s counteroffer and are reviewing it closely. Democrats remain committed to keep fighting for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/immigration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">real reforms to rein in ICE<\/a> and stop the violence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/schumer-dems-again-block-dhs-funding-force-state-union-showdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>SCHUMER, DEMS AGAIN BLOCK DHS FUNDING, FORCE STATE OF THE UNION SHOWDOWN<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Congressional Democrats have spent much of the week accusing the White House of not taking the negotiations seriously, while Republicans contend their counterparts are asking for too much.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer and Senate Democrats earlier this week blocked another attempt by Senate Majority Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/john-thune\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Thune,<\/a> R-S.D., and Republicans to fund DHS using the original compromise funding bill.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/democrats-demanding-ice-reforms-lose-airport-escorts-shutdown-they-triggered\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>DEMOCRATS DEMANDING ICE REFORMS LOSE AIRPORT ESCORTS IN SHUTDOWN THEY TRIGGERED<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It seems like the Democrats concluded this is maybe good politics for them. It\u2019s not for the people whose lives are affected on a daily basis,&#8221; Thune said earlier this week. &#8220;So we\u2019ll keep pressing to try and get folks to the table. But I think the White House \u2014 you know \u2014 they continue to exchange paper and trade paper and all that, and hopefully they\u2019ll find a sweet spot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats want stringent reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including requiring agents to obtain judicial warrants and identify themselves during enforcement actions \u2014 changes Republicans and the administration say are red lines.<\/p>\n<p>They argue the White House has not shown the urgency they would have expected, given that an agency central to President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> immigration agenda has been shuttered for nearly three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They haven\u2019t indicated that they\u2019re concerned about the closure of DHS,&#8221; Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/elizabeth-warren\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elizabeth Warren,<\/a> D-Mass., told Fox News Digital. &#8220;They\u2019ve been slow to come back on the proposals that the Democrats have made, and no one has ever explained why there should be only one police force in the entire country that should not have to follow the same kind of rules as everyone else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/dhs-funding-stalemate-thaws-white-house-sends-democrats-serious-counteroffer\">Source &#8211;
