The Democratic National Committee approved competing measures to both abolish and reform ICE at its summer gathering in Austin, Texas, a split that laid bare the party's inability to settle on an immigration message even as midterm elections approach. DNC members voted Saturday on two separate, non-binding resolutions addressing the future of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. One called for "concrete reforms" of the agency. The other called for abolishing it entirely. Both passed. Neither sets the party's official platform, which will be determined at the 2028 convention, but the dueling outcomes put the party's internal fracture on full display. The abolition resolution goes further than a symbolic statement. It calls for…Open
AI:At its summer meeting in Austin, Texas, the Democratic National Committee exposed deep internal fractures by passing two contradictory non-binding resolutions regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

While leftist outlets obsess over complaints from detainees at Newark's Delaney Hall, federal officials have rightfully stepped up to defend the standard of care provided during these essential enforcement actions. This predictable attempt to cast doubt on the integrity of immigration operations follows a recurring pattern of agitators and establishment media trying to delegitimize the very agencies tasked with maintaining national security. Instead of addressing the reality of illegal entries and the massive backlog that plagues our system, these…Open
