Questions are being raised about the accuracy of deportable criminal numbers in Minnesota as federal and local figures don't match up.

The partial government shutdown has ended. Now, lawmakers come to a more difficult task: how to find bipartisan agreement on changes to immigration enforcement.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries explained why Democrats are refusing to vote for the latest Homeland Security funding bill until changes are made to ICE's immigration enforcement activity.
