Democrats demand changes to DHS after its agents killed two Minnesotans in January. Minority leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries want a requirement for judicial warrants, better identification for DHS officers and new use of force standards. Last week, Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the demands unrealistic. Anne Jeffries tells CNN this Sunday the two side sides aren't talking. Unfortunately, we haven't heard back from the White House or Mike Johnson or Speaker or Leader Thune in terms of the demands that we've put on the table. The DHS funding deadline is midnight Friday. Its agencies like the Coast Guard, the TSA and FEMA would be affected if funding lapses. Meanwhile, DHS's mass deportation agenda would still have money to operate despite the shutdown.

Russia's Federal Security Service said a Russian citizen had been detained in Dubai on suspicion of carrying out the attack on Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alekseyev was now in custody in Moscow. Alekseyev, who serves as first deputy deputy head of Russia's GRU military intelligence Service, was shot three times in his apartment building in Moscow Friday morning. He's since undergone surgery and is expected to survive. Russian authorities claim the apparent assassin was working for Ukrainian intelligence, a charge Kyiv has denied in this case. Since the beginning of Russia's full scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine has claimed responsibility for the assassination of several senior Russian officers, including in the Russian capital.
