75 Democrats vote to thank ICE for the great job

Jun 9, 2025 -
Politics & Policy

75 House Democrats broke with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries today and voted for a Republican resolution that condemned the Boulder attack and celebrated ICE.

Why it matters: Democrats spent the day criticizing President Trump for sending in the National Guard to put down protests in Los Angeles over ICE operations.

Earlier in the day, Jeffries said the House resolution "is not a serious effort."
A majority of his caucus, 113 members, voted against the resolution. But a third of House Democrats voted to express "gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland."

Saw this on "Wonkette".

Millions will be taking to the streets tomorrow.

It would be nice to think someone has their backs.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

the members who voted for it if you have a problem. Rather than 'tar and feather' the entire party why not clue in the people these members represent?

Between the lines: Some Democrats didn't want to vote against a resolution that also focused on condemning antisemitism.

But 194 Democrats voted for a separate resolution today that "condemns in the strongest possible terms the June 1, 2025, targeted act of terror in Boulder, Colorado, as a cowardly act of ideologically motivated violence."

The bottom line: Senate GOP leaders think they've got a winning argument with the protests and are urging senators to double down on condemning them, we scooped this afternoon.

Way past time for Democratic officials to start acting like Democrats. Joining Republicans to praise ICE for "protecting the homeland"? Maybe that sounds better if you're goosestepping. Absolutely shameful.

I do so because some legislators do not share my values, which I believe are widely held by most Democrats in office.

This is a purple district and I have given her room to play politics to keep her seat. But supporting racism is beyond the pale.

There is no common ground, no middle of the road. You took an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Praising a fascist heavy hand is not defending.
And as I type, maybe ICE took a similar oath to defend the constitution.
Sure area lot of Americans violating their oaths.
