Democratic National Committee ICE policy debate

Overview

During a summer meeting in Austin, Texas, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) approved two competing, non-binding resolutions regarding the future of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

One resolution, passed by the Resolution Committee with a 27-to-12 vote, calls for the total abolition of the agency. This measure urges Democratic members of Congress to craft legislation to wind down the immigration detention system, close detention facilities, and end contracts with private detention companies. It also proposes conditioning Department of Homeland Security funding on ending specific practices such as workplace raids and arrests at houses of worship.

Simultaneously, the committee approved a separate resolution calling for ‘concrete reforms’ to the agency. The debate highlights internal party divisions regarding immigration policy and enforcement oversight ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Republican leaders have criticized the abolition measure, with RNC Chairman Joe Gruters describing it as ‘political suicide.’
