Schumer, Jeffries trash Trump's DHS proposal as 'incomplete and insufficient'

The top two congressional Democrats have, for now, rejected President Donald Trump and Republicans’ offer to avert a shutdown as the deadline rapidly approaches.

For several hours Monday night, both Republicans and Democrats were near-radio silent about the nature of the counter-offer from the White House. That was, in part, because some lawmakers had no idea what was in it.

But the silence appeared to spell yet another positive step toward averting the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
