CITY, State (Fox News) — Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., opposes another government shutdown as fellow Democrats block a bill funding immigration agencies like ICE, increasing shutdown risks.

Fetterman’s Stance

Fetterman, known for his independent views, rejects shutting down the government due to the consequences of the last shutdown.

Opposition to Funding Bill

Senate Democrats oppose the bill following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, prompting Fetterman to call for immigration enforcement reforms instead of a shutdown.

Fetterman’s Position

Fetterman advocates for common-sense ICE reforms but opposes abolishing or defunding federal immigration agencies.

Calls for Changes

Fetterman criticizes ICE tactics in Minneapolis and pushes for better strategies while emphasizing the need to deport criminals and provide a pathway to citizenship for hard-working migrants.
