Democratic National Committee votes on ICE abolition and reform resolutions
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has approved competing resolutions regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a meeting in Austin. One resolution, passed by the Resolution Committee with a 27-to-12 vote, urges Democratic members of Congress to craft legislation to abolish ICE.
This abolition measure calls for winding down the immigration detention system, closing detention facilities, and ending contracts with private detention companies. It further proposes conditioning Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding on the cessation of specific enforcement practices, including workplace raids, mass roundups, and arrests at courthouses or houses of worship.
Simultaneously, the DNC passed a separate resolution calling for concrete reforms to the agency. The competing approaches reflect internal party debates over immigration policy and the direction of enforcement oversight.
