We speak to The American Prospect's David Dayen about what could be the end to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, after seven Democratic Senators and one independent struck a deal with Republicans to pass a short-term government funding bill. "Why would you end this?" asks Dayen, echoing many in the Democratic coalition who believe the deal was a poor strategic move for the anti-Trump opposition. Calls are now growing for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down. "Donald Trump and the Republicans were being blamed for all of this chaos…and yet, days later this this group of Democrats with the tacit support of Chuck Schumer decide that they're going to end this and cave."

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is calling for federal agents to pause immigration enforcement in the Chicago area until after Halloween, amid widespread condemnation of violent arrests and confrontations with residents. Meanwhile, the person at the center of much of Chicago's enforcement, Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino, did a five-hour deposition Thursday in a case challenging federal agents' treatment of protesters, journalists, children and immigrants. Bovino is "in charge of the Chicago raids. And that style of aggressive, militarized enforcement is something that the Trump administration loves, because it plays very well for them among their base," says Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council. He also discusses the rapid expansion of immigration detention, the normalization of racial profiling by federal agents, arrests of U.S. citizens and more.
