Seven Democrats are facing criticism after voting to advance funding for ICE ahead of the 2026 elections.

Seven House Democrats voted in favor of a $64.4 billion bill to advance a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spending measure that includes about $10 billion for ICE. The votes came during a markup of the DHS appropriations bill, with Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky casting the lone Republican vote against the funding, which passed 220-207 and will fund ICE and FEMA through September 30.

The seven Democrats who voted alongside the majority of Republicans to push forward the bill are Representatives

  • Tom Suozzi (New York),
  • Henry Cuellar (Texas),
  • Don Davis (North Carolina),
  • Laura Gillen (New York),
  • Jared Golden (Maine),
  • Vicente Gonzalez (Texas),
  • Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Washington).

    How is it possible at this point for anyone claiming to have a conscience to vote to give these lawless constitution violating thugs more money. It boggles the mind.

    There’s are supposed to be your representatives America, are they representing you? No? What are you going to do then, wait until the next time you can cast a ballot? And then the next, any next, so on? How do you envision that going?

    Please do more and encourage others to do more, love, a scared canadian

      We have to vote Democrat or the Republicans will touch me in my sleep

      Edit: Apparently this comment was mistaken for sarcasm. I’m not saying Republicans are harmless. I am saying they are sex criminals.

        by touch you in your sleep do you mean direct a federal force to break into and toss private residences without a warrant detaining anyone they feel like along the way and completely ignore due process?

            yes. your comment sounds like you are making light of what republicans are doing or suggests people are worried about something that won’t happen (them personally touching you in your sleep). you may have been referencing their tendency for pedophilia but a short comment like that looks flippant relative to the comment you are responding to.
