G. Elliott Morris at Strength In Numbers:

In a letter sent on Feb. 4, 2026, Democratic congressional leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer laid out their 10 key demands for the current fight in Washington over funding for the Department of Homeland Security, and thus Immigration and Customs Enforcement. If these demands aren’t met, Jeffries and Schumer say, they will refuse to fund DHS outright. The agency could partially shut down in two weeks when funding runs out. I have spent a good amount of space here recently documenting how America has reached a tipping point on immigration and that appetite for reform — including abolishing ICE outright — has risen in the past year. And polls show there is intense anger at how Donald Trump has carried out his agenda of mass deportations over the last year; net favorability of ICE has recently fallen to an all-time low, averaging -20 across pollsters. So now that Democrats have leverage, it’s worth asking the question: What reforms do Americans actually want? The list from Democrats contains a lot of ambitious reforms, including: prohibiting ICE and other immigration agents from wearing masks or other face coverings, requiring officers to display and verbalize identification, mandating body-worn cameras with clear storage and access rules, restricting enforcement near “sensitive locations” such as schools and medical facilities, requiring judicial warrants for certain entries and arrests, and prohibiting profiling based on appearance, language, or location. The package also includes provisions to preserve state and local authority and to standardize detention conditions. The demands notably stop short of the nuclear option (abolishing ICE outright). So that’s what congressional Democrats want. But which reforms do the American people support? Can Democrats translate any public opinion data into additional leverage? This week’s Chart of the Week is: What Americans actually want done about ICE.

Recent polls reveal that many Americans back reforms of ICE, and the Abolish ICE position is approaching a majority.
