With eight days until a deadline to keep the Department of Homeland Security running, bipartisan talks on reining in federal immigration agents’ tactics appeared to sputter before they had even gotten underway.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is one of America’s most powerful and controversial federal law enforcement agencies, created in the aftermath of 9/11 to combat cross‑border crime and protect national security.

In a statement, Michigan AG Dana Nessel said the action of federal immigration agents "has been deeply concerning."

Nearly two-thirds of respondents in the latest poll – 65% – feel ICE has gone too far in enforcing immigration laws, a jump from 54% last June, when the Trump administration began enhanced enforcement efforts in Los Angeles. That's driven largely by Democrats and independents, but a growing share of Republicans say the same.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu accused ICE of unconstitutional operations and ordered the release of surveillance footage showing alleged federal agent violence.

A few Senate Democrats introduced a bill called the ‘‘ICE Out of Our Faces Act,” which would ban Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) from using facial recognition technology.

A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll finds a jump in disapproval of the agency among Democrats and independents, but Republicans are standing by ICE and the president.

Nevada leaders criticize ICE tactics, Clark County advances animal shelter plans, a former Las Vegas councilman dies, CSN expands cannabis programs, and Raiders draft drama grows.
