Schumer says immigration agents must lose masks, add body cameras

U..S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said on Wednesday that federal immigration agents must lose their masks and observe other new restrictions as he outlined conditions that his party is seeking to extend government funding beyond a Saturday deadline.



Schumer said agents with the Department of Homeland Security must also wear body cameras, observe the same use of force rules as local police and be subject to tighter rules requiring search warrants.



Democrats say they will not agree to extend DHS funding without new limits on President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. The agency has come under widespread criticism after agents killed a second U.S. citizen in Minneapolis last Saturday.
