Ben Shapiro says if Democrats are "asking for only judicial warrants can be used by ICE, that means the end of immigration enforcement in the United States"

BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): So, again, President Trump pressured Republicans into not pushing forward the Save Act on the back of the sort of government shutdown threat. He was right to do so. Democrats, by the way, are still talking about another government shutdown. According to The Washington Post, Congress is staring down yet another partial government shutdown in 10 days unless Democrats strike a deal with President Trump and Republicans over new restrictions on federal immigration authorities, and some key lawmakers in both parties are not optimistic. Democrats are demanding that Republicans agree to a range of accountability measures, according to The Washington Post, to rein in personnel from ICE and other agencies. Democratic lawmakers are seeking tighter rules governing the use of warrants. Again, if they're asking for only judicial warrants can be used by ICE, that means the end of immigration enforcement in the United States, and they know it. Independent investigations of alleged misconduct, which, of course, would violate, I assume, union rules. A ban on masks for federal immigration agents, again, a nonstarter. And a requirement for them to wear body cameras, a thing that Kristi Noem says they are already going to be doing. Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma has been slamming Democrats for their absurd demands.
