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.”

I mean, even if this failed they had enough money from the last 70 billion to fund ICE regardless.

However, they should have stood up to this regardless. I don't understand what their logic is. They just didn't want to deal with shitty PR I guess.

They aren't any action and only PR. Thats all their jobs and their siblings they hire as consultants.

Of course they only care about that. Its the only metric they measure "how happy the wealthy are"
