WATCH LIVE: Hakeem Jeffries Holds A Press Briefing As Partial Government Shutdown Continues

We believe there should be independent investigations so that when ICE or CBP agents violently break the law, state and local authorities have the ability to criminally investigate them or prosecute them. We also believe that Sensitive locations should be off limits. That includes, but is not limited to, schools, hospitals, houses of worship and polling sites. Completely and totally off limits. We believe that ICE agents should identify themselves, that body cameras need to go on and masks need to come off so that ICE agents are actually compelled to conduct themselves like every other law enforcement agency in the country.
