Reining in ICE is an objective worthy of a shutdown. The cause appears to be popular, and the Democrats’ demands are reasonable. Recent history shows us, however, that shutdowns have negative side effects, and the blue team wants to avoid another “defund the police” episode. So how does this end?
Both sides will be motivated to settle. There will be a brief shutdown, followed by a compromise, followed by repeated attempts by ICE to avoid the new restrictions.
