Dems say Noem ouster isn't enough to end DHS shutdown

• "A change in personnel is not sufficient, we need a change in policy," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said at a press conference Thursday afternoon.
• Said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.): "The problems at this agency transcend any one person. The rot is deep. The president has to end the violence and rein in ICE."

Between the lines: Noem's removal was just one demand Democrats made for unsticking DHS funding. They have also laid out 10 reforms to immigration enforcement policies they want to see.

• The proposals include prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks, requiring them to display their IDs, restricting their ability to use force and blocking them from conducting operations at schools, churches and medical facilities.
• "I am so happy that one of the worst administrative leaders I've ever seen is gone. But the agency itself is still reckless and out of control," said Sen Cory Booker (D-N.J.).

The latest: Shortly after Noem's exit was announced, the Senate once again failed to advance a DHS funding bill.

• The chamber voted 51 to 45 in favor of proceeding to the bill, but it needed 60 votes to overcome the filibuster.

The bottom line: "It's not like Kristi Noem was involved in negotiating anything," Jeffries said, calling her a "lackey" and offering little comment on her would-be replacement, Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.).

• "We were dealing with the White House before, and we're going to continue to deal with the White House at this point."
