The Minneapolis shooting is also having direct consequences on Capitol Hill.

Democratic leaders say they're ready to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security

and potentially other agencies.

Our congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardin joins us now, Lisa, it's good to see you.

So what are you hearing from members of Congress and is it in any way different from how they've

responded to in the past?

Let's start with Republicans.

Notably it was different in that very few of them actually responded initially, despite Stephen Miller and others at the White House signaling aggressive messaging.

Instead, we have something almost from another time, neutrality from some and even some concern from other Republicans like this from Texas Republican Mike McCall.

He wrote, I am troubled by the events that have unfolded. I believe a thorough investigation is necessary,

both to get to the bottom of these incidents, but also he wrote, to maintain Americans' confidence in our justice system.

Now, there are many Republicans who also criticize Democrats and say they're to blame for

this kind of insightful atmosphere and tension, which Democrats deny that. But one example

is important to me. The House Oversight Chairman James Comer, he did say Democrats are to blame,

but he also is not saying, I should double down. He's saying instead, maybe I should pull back.

Here's what he said on Fox Sunday.

This situation is only going to get worse.

And I really think that there are so many cities in the United States that have issues with criminal illegals that I think they would be, they would be better received in other cities.

And I hope that's something they're talking about doing right now because, you know, Minneapolis isn't the only city. That reads to me as looking for a way out. Most notably, there are Republicans who are calling for hearings. Now, one, look at this letter from Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee. He's saying he wants a hearing in the next two weeks or so.

As for Democrats, I've spoken to so many, they are as incensed and also focused, as I've seen them,

especially on ICE.

They do not want any ICE funding to go through without changes.
