U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito said Thursday there are things that Republicans and Democrats can agree on when it comes to hashing out a Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but there are some Democrat demands that are non-starters and will only lead to a shutdown of the department.

Capito, R-W.Va., addressed the debate over the DHS spending bill during her weekly call with reporters Thursday. While all other funding bills have been passed, Democrats and Republicans remain at loggerheads over funding the Department of Homeland Security, which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Democrats are demanding major changes to ICE, unveiling a 10-point proposal Wednesday to rein in the organization following the fatal shootings of two protestors last month in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

There are plenty of points in the proposal where Capito feels the GOP and Democrats can meet in the middle, like body cameras for ICE agents, more oversight, more de-escalation training and more cooperation with state and local officials.

“That would be very helpful,” Capito said of the increased cooperation. “That’s what I think is key here, to make sure that our local officials … if there’s somebody in their jails that is violent and they’ve been convicted and are under deportation adjudication, we should remove them. And we should do it from the correctional facility rather than having to track them down.”

Yet Capito – who, as chair of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, is the fourth-highest-ranking Republican in the U.S. Senate – said there are other points in the plan that would derail the discussions if the Democrats remained firm, including the prohibition of ICE agents from wearing face coverings.

“I have questions, because I want to protect our ICE agents enforcing the law,” she said. “But also, it’s not just masking. It’s ‘we want your name, we want your number.’ So they can track you down and dox you at your house and scare your children?

“This is an effort, I think, for them to have greater abilities to frighten ICE agents who are trying to do their job,” Capito added, “so I disagree with some of this.”

Capito added that ICE makes up just a percentage of the DHS spending bill, that funding for TSA, the U.S. Coast Guard, Secret Service and FEMA also gets held up if it’s not passed. Congress passed a short-term funding bill for DHS, but that expires Feb. 13.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said that Democrats’ demands were “unrealistic,” a sentiment Capito echoed Thursday.

“They’re really willing to disrupt Homeland Security and the agencies I mentioned to try to get a wish list of things that they’re probably not going to get anywhere near all of it and some of them are very unreasonable,” she said.

“So I think a lot of it is for show and political one-upsmanship,” she added, “but we really need to settle this, because this is about absolutely vital services.”
