Democrats set to vote against ICE bill amid outrage over Trump crackdown

Congressional Democrats are largely expected to vote against a homeland security funding bill that includes funding for ICE. Democratic leaders cited insufficient provisions to curb ICE's enforcement activities as the reason for their opposition during a closed-door meeting on Wednesday. Despite the bill maintaining ICE's budget, reducing enforcement operations, and including funding for body cameras, outrage over ICE's tactics, particularly in Minnesota, is driving the opposition. While Democratic leaders are signaling a no vote, they are not enforcing a party line, and enough Democrats are expected to vote in favor to pass the legislation. A key concern is the belief that ICE is being used to terrorize communities under the direction of the president.
