Democrat Backtracks After Voting To Give ICE $10 Billion

"I hear the anger from my constituents, and I take responsibility for that," moderate Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) said on Monday.

Saying you failed and apologizing now is worthless.

Primary this guy and the other six that voted for this. None of these guys are people that we should be tolerating in the Democratic party with this kind of morality, callousness for human life, and such short sighted vision.

    Suozzi, a moderate who co-chairs the House Problem Solvers Caucus, initially said last week he opposed shutting down the government because ICE would nonetheless continue to function due to an infusion of billions of dollars to the agency from President Donald Trump’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill. He also noted shutting down DHS would affect other agencies, like FEMA and the Coast Guard.

    He’s got a point, BBB gave ICE 75 billion they can spend however they like in the next decade. They can operate off that for years at current spending levels.

    And to Souzzi’s credit, he voted against the BBB.

    Not passing a budget isn’t enough, we need to claw that 75 billion back.
