Senior US immigration officials told House lawmakers that officers involved in federal operations in Minnesota were trained on constitutional limits, crowd control and the use of force, as Congress scrutinizes two fatal shootings that occurred during enforcement actions earlier this year.

At a House Homeland Security Committee oversight hearing, Chairman Andrew Garbarino questioned ICE Director Todd Lyons about whether officers are trained to distinguish between lawful protest activity and conduct that unlawfully interferes with enforcement.

Lyons said deportation officers and special agents are trained at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in “defensive tactics and personal safety,” as well as laws including key Constitutional amendments relating to speech, firearms, searches, citizenship and other rights before being deployed, with additional training once in the field.

Congress has less than five days for a bipartisan deal to avert yet another partial shutdown — and questions abound on what that would look like.

Funding will lapse for the Department of Homeland Security Friday night unless Congressional Republicans, President Donald Trump and at least some Senate Democrats can find agreement on immigration enforcement. Or perhaps a plan to fund everything in the agency except ICE.

Lawmakers return today after leaving town miles apart after Democrats laid out their longer list of demands, and Republicans quickly rebuffed them.

A discussion of President Donald Trump's path on affordability -- including a look at housing-related legislation that could pass the House as soon as this week -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Feb. 9 edition of the Washington Policy Pulse. A potential antitrust probe into US homebuilders by the Trump Administration is likely more bark than bite. We also discussed the likelihood of a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security -- which in our view is unlikely to have any impact on markets or equities. Finally, we gave a status update on cryptocurrency legislation and tariffs.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC.

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration
