Adam Schiff said he will refuse further funding for ICE and Border Patrol after <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >recent fatal shootings \u2014 including<\/a> the killing of Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent and the earlier death of Renee Good involving an ICE officer \u2014 and called for investigations into both incidents. Speaking on NBC\u2019s Meet the Press, Schiff declared \u201cDemocrats are not going to fund\u201d Homeland Security as the DHS appropriations bill approaches. senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also pledged to vote against the bill, and some Democrats (Sens. cortez Masto and Jack Reed) have proposed dropping the DHS measure so the Senate can move forward with the other five appropriations bills. Lawmakers face a Jan. 30 deadline to fund the government; failure to pass the needed bills (which require 60 votes) could trigger at least a partial shutdown, a prospect Schiff blamed on Republican senators. Senate votes were briefly delayed by a snowstorm in D.C. as leaders weigh next steps.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Schiff says he&rsquo;s not giving ICE or Border Patrol &lsquo;another dime&rsquo; after Pretti shooting<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2474069\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3880712\/democrats-voting-against-ending-government-shutdown\/\">Adam Schiff<\/a> (D-CA) predicted that &ldquo;Democrats are not going to fund&rdquo; the Department of Homeland Security as an <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/4432706\/senate-democrats-derail-appropriations-passage-minneapolis-shooting\/\">appropriations bill<\/a> looms.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff appeared on NBC News&rsquo;s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\"><em>Meet the Press<\/em><\/a>  on Sunday to answer questions about how he will vote on the DHS funding bill.
