Large swaths of the Department of Homeland Security are set to shut down Saturday unless lawmakers strike a last-minute deal to fund the agency, with Democrats threatening to oppose any legislation that does not include new restrictions on federal immigration agents.

Democrats demanded a long list of changes to DHS after federal immigration agents killed Alex Pretti last month in Minneapolis, including tighter rules on warrants and a ban on agents wearing face masks. The White House is open to some of them, but the two sides have not reached an agreement days before the department is set to run out of money.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota) said he thinks a compromise is possible and asked Democrats to agree to a short-term funding deal for DHS in the meantime.
