The American Prospect reported that several Democrats in closely contested districts would be voting for the ICE appropriation. “They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement,” an unnamed source told the liberal magazine. “They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

Yeah so none of them even had to vote for it. There was no downside to voting no. You could claim moral high ground and point to Rs as responsible for ICE. Anyone who voted in favor is complicit and Hakeem Jeffries is complicit for not even whipping the party to vote no across the board.
