Less Than One Year Out From Midterms, Some Democrats Embrace ‘Abolish ICE’ Movement

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

As Democrats plot to retake power during next year’s midterm elections, some are embracing a strategy considered politically toxic by many in the party.

Democrats squaring off in primaries across the country are calling for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or for major changes that would strip the agency of its core functions. The resurgence of the “Abolish ICE” movement comes as some Democrats argue President Donald Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown has gone too far, though leading Democrats have still not coalesced around an alternative immigration policy platform.

“Let me be clear, fuck ICE,” Democratic Illinois House candidate Patty Garcia said during a campaign announcement in November. “It’s time to abolish ICE and hold Trump and his entire clan accountable.”

Garcia, who controversially became the presumptive Democratic nominee for a deep blue seat by default following a retirement gambit by her boss, is likely to take her anti-ICE advocacy with her to Congress next year.

Other high-profile Democratic House candidates such as outgoing New York City comptroller Brad Lander and Illinois House candidate Kat Abughazaleh have also forcefully called for the agency’s dismantlement. Lander and Abughazaleh are both running in contested primaries.

“I’m happy to say abolish ICE,” Lander told Zeteo News in June. “I hope other people will say it too.”

Authorities arrested both candidates in separate incidents earlier in 2025 for interfering with ICE proceedings. Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has gone further and suggested that individual agents should face trial.

Left-wing Democrats in Congress, who may not use the viral slogan themselves, appear to welcome some of their colleagues using “Abolish ICE” messaging.

“You’re gonna hear rhetoric like that because people are in their communities, and they’re seeing masked men and unmarked vehicles go and terrorize our communities in broad daylight,” Democratic Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a brief interview on Friday.

Though Frost did not say whether he would use the phrase himself, the left-wing Floridian said “there needs to be huge changes to ICE” and that $170 billion allocated for border security and immigration enforcement signed into law by Trump in July should be clawed back.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) countered that anti-ICE messaging is dangerous for the men and women serving in law enforcement.

“Attacks and demonization of ICE is wrong,” Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the DCNF in a statement. “President Trump campaigned on immigration enforcement, the American people voted for it, and Secretary [Kristi] Noem is delivering.”

McLaughlin also stated ICE officers are facing a 1,150% increase in assaults as compared with the same period in 2024 under the Biden administration.

Some Democrats are actively trying to distance themselves from the “abolish ICE” movement, which has proven unpopular over consecutive electoral cycles.

“Obviously, there are practices going on at ICE that I fundamentally disagree with, but I don’t think the abolition movement, just like the Defund the Police movement, is the answer,” Democratic Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz said in a brief interview.

“I wouldn’t use that [abolish ICE] language,” Democratic California Rep. Ami Bera said Thursday. “But if we get the majority, obviously we’ll investigate what they’re doing.”

National Republicans appear eager to paint Democrats as the party of “open borders” with calls to eliminate ICE trickling back into some Democrat’s messaging.

“Abolishing ICE has become the radical litmus test Democrats can’t resist,” National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokesman Mike Marinella said in a statement.

Rather than condemn the politically toxic slogan, leading Democrats have cast doubt that “Abolish ICE” is making a messaging comeback.

House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar and Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin both told the DCNF they were not aware of Democrats supporting the agency’s dismantlement.

“The only time I hear that [abolish ICE] is actually from my Republican colleagues,” Aguilar, the third-ranking House Democrat, insisted. “I haven’t heard any Democrats calling for defunding law enforcement agencies.”

House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark dodged when asked whether calls to abolish ICE are welcome in the party. The second-ranking House Democrat said her caucus is focused on lowering costs.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries asked the DCNF for the names of individuals who are calling for ICE’s abolition when pressed on the topic Friday. The lead Democrat said he had not spoken with any “abolish ICE” proponents about their views and slammed Trump’s deportation agenda.

Just 38% of American adults approve of Trump’s job performance on immigration, according to an AP-NORC poll released Thursday. However, a November Reuters/Ipsos poll found that voters favor Republicans to handle immigration than Democrats by a 12-point margin.

Democratic California Rep. Jimmy Gomez, who has previously endorsed belligerent rhetoric against Republicans, argued that ICE needed to be met with resistance, though stopped short of abolition.

“We need to meet them where they’re at,” Gomez told the DCNF. “If they’re in the streets, we got to be there.”

ROOKE: Democrats’ Grip On Bargaining Power Dramatically Loosens As End Of Schumer Shutdown Looms

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Outwardly, Democrats claim their resolve to keep the government shutdown has never been stronger. However, cracks are beginning to form within the party, signaling that the shutdown might end soon.

When Democrats initially voted against the Republican House-passed clean continuing resolution (CR), voters in large margins blamed Republicans. This is likely due to a lack of knowledge about how many votes it takes to pass a CR after the Democrats invoked a filibuster on the bill. Without a filibuster motion, Senate Republicans needed a simple majority to pass the CR with 100 senators, so 51 votes. However, now that Democrats have invoked the filibuster, Senate Republicans need 60 votes (three-fifths of the 100 senators) to invoke cloture and end debate, after which a simple majority is still required for final passage.

Republicans hold a slim 53-seat majority in the Senate, enough to pass the CR without a filibuster, but not enough to pass the motion. As it stands, Republicans need seven Democrats to cross the aisle to invoke cloture and end the debate.

Democrats used this sneaky trick, with help from the media running cover, to push the blame onto Republicans and President Donald Trump. Their argument was simple: Republicans control both chambers of Congress plus the White House; therefore, the shutdown rests solely on their shoulders. For a while, their strategy has worked. Polling in early October showed a majority of Americans blamed Republicans for the shutdown. However, the longer the shutdown lasts, the worse it’s getting for Democrats.

While polling shows the Congressional Republicans are still shouldering the majority of the blame, approval ratings for Trump and both parties highlight the need for Democrats to quit stalling and pass the CR.

The most recent Quinnipiac University poll, conducted October 16-20, showed 40 percent of registered voters approved of Trump’s job as president, slightly up from Quinnipiac’s September polling, when 38 percent said the same.

When asked about Republicans, 35 percent gave them positive marks for their job performance, while 59 percent disapproved of Congressional Republicans. Compared to that, just 26 percent of registered voters approved of Congressional Democrats, while 67 percent told the survey they disapproved. Both Democrats and Republicans are up from Quinnipiac’s July 16 poll, where voters gave Democrats a 19 percent approval rating and Republicans a 33 percent approval rating.

Democrats are reportedly talking among themselves about the need to end the stalemate. Former Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine claimed Tuesday that Capitol Hill Democrats have texted him that the shutdown will end soon.

“Even texting with people on Capitol Hill here on the Democratic side, they know that this cannot go on too much longer,” Turrentine said on “The Morning Meeting” show. “There’s no talk of, ‘Yeah, we’ll do this through Thanksgiving.’”

“They’re like, ‘Yeah, we know this is going to have to end pretty soon.’ Again, the question is: who blinks?” he added. “And I do continue to think that by the end of next week, that middle part of the Democratic Party is going to start talking about, ‘How do we get out of this?’”

And while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries insist that their members will not be voting to pass the CR until Republicans fill the clean CR with their demands, the list of Democrats crossing the aisle to join Republicans ticked up Thursday.

Initially, just two Democratic senators, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, had joined Republicans to pass the CR. On Thursday, two more Democratic senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, both from Georgia, voted with Republicans to end the government shutdown. However, Republicans lost Cortez Masto on the last vote, with her rejoining the Democratic side to keep the government shutdown.

Republicans have 55 votes (53 Republican senators and 3 Democratic senators) in favor of opening the federal government. The party needs just five more votes to invoke cloture and end the debate, thus allowing a simple majority vote to end the shutdown.

And while Democrats continue to keep the government closed, regular Americans and essential federal workers are going without the assistance or pay they need. It seems for the time being, Democrats are fine using their pain as leverage in order to score political points.

Ceasefire Crusaders In Congress Go Silent After Trump Actually Gets One

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Many of the lawmakers who demanded a ceasefire in Gaza over the past two years have fallen silent after President Donald Trump secured one between Israel and Hamas on Wednesday.

Just ten days after Hamas terrorists stormed into Israel, killing civilians and taking both Israelis and Americans hostage, Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib blasted then-President Joe Biden, saying, “This is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire and help de-escalate,” referring to Palestinian deaths in an Israeli retaliatory strike.

Now that Trump has negotiated a deal securing the release of the remaining hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli forces, Tlaib has had nothing to say about the sitting president.

Democratic Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez, who in March joined colleagues outside the Capitol to call for “a ceasefire and an end to Netanyahu’s campaign to ethnically cleanse Gaza,” has also stayed quiet on what amounts to a major step toward her stated goal — the return of the hostages and the “safety, freedom, and self-determination” of the Palestinian people.

Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal issued a statement Tuesday marking the two-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.

“In the two years since, we have also seen that revenge never brings peace, and war only brings more war,” Jayapal said, referring to what she called the “genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza by the Israeli Government.”

She ended her statement with a call for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire,” but has not commented since Trump announced the deal Wednesday — though she has spoken publicly to blame Republicans for the ongoing government shutdown.

“President Trump needs to quit his bombastic rhetoric and work to return Israel and Hamas to the negotiating table to restore the ceasefire so that the violence will cease and the remaining hostages can be returned home safely,” Democratic Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum said in March.

She has not released a statement since such a deal was reached.

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, another frequent voice calling for a ceasefire, has also stayed silent.

Democratic Pennsylvania Rep. Madeleine Dean shared a video Tuesday remembering Hamas’ “brutal and barbaric assault on Israel” and said she prayed that peace talks centered on the president’s 20-point plan would bring about a ceasefire, the return of the hostages, and humanitarian relief for Gaza.

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar — one of the most outspoken supporters of the Palestinian cause in Congress — responded to the news by saying, “For the sake of humanity, let’s hope this will be a lasting and permanent ceasefire. While this is a hopeful step, we must demand accountability for every war crime committed during this genocide and continue to call for an end to the occupation.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called Trump’s deal a “very positive step in the right direction,” adding, “We’re all hopeful that this agreement will be finalized, that the hostages will be released in a matter of days and returned home to their loved ones.”

The offices of the lawmakers did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment.

ROOKE: Democrats Seem To Be Setting Themselves Up For More Chaos And Division

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

President Donald Trump and Republicans could have a short-lived victory in passing their One Big Beautiful Bill. In just ten weeks, Republicans will face another funding battle to avoid a government shutdown. But, fortunately for them, Democrats are still undecided on how to respond.

There are open discussions about Democrats’ limited options when fighting against Republicans, Politico reported Monday. Rather than come up with a plan to find leverage to get what they want, Democrats, such as Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz, blame Republicans for following Trump’s lead and complain that Republicans are unwilling to include Democrats in the budget decision-making process.

“They’re just throwing stuff against the wall because they’re losing this fight,” Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy told Politico.

Democrats don’t seem to understand why they were defeated in November or how to gain back voter confidence in the new Trump era. While Democrats are “furious with the Trump administration and their Republican counterparts for undercutting government funding negotiations,” there is no “unified strategy” in place for the next major funding bill, set to be voted on before the government shutdown Oct. 1, according to Politico.

“To be blunt, I don’t think there’s one tactic or approach that is going to solve this from any individual Democrat,” Schatz told the outlet. “The Republicans have to decide whether they want to be totally lobotomized or not.”

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer attempted to work with Republicans on Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, but received significant pushback from his fellow party members.

“‘He’s done a great deal of damage to the party,’ said Ezra Levin, co-founder of the liberal group Indivisible, which has scheduled an emergency call with its New York chapter and other local leaders to “seriously consider if the current [Democratic] leadership is equipped to handle the moment we’re in,’” Politico reported.

This puts any Democrat looking to side with Republicans in a terrible position. If they cross the aisle, they risk the Schumer treatment, but if they don’t, they get blamed for shutting down the federal government and all that entails.

Of course, Republicans have a few stragglers who seem to sympathize with the Democratic Party’s position against slashing funding for abortion and DEI hiring practices for the federal government.

Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski were the lone two votes against Trump’s $9 billion rescissions package, which ended funding for some of the establishment’s favorite projects, including foreign aid, PBS, and NPR. As Appropriations Committee chair, Collins told her fellow members that countering Trump and his White House budget chief, Russ Vought, is “to continue to work in a bipartisan way.”

One faction of the Democratic Party aims to persuade more Republicans to join their side during these budget negotiations. The other seems to think the only way to stop the “Trump train” is to derail it using their favorite weapon: lawfare.

Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the House’s top-ranking Democrat appropriator, appears to strike a balance between both sides. She told reporters that Democrats need “to make sure that there are several others on the other side of the aisle who have the stomach and the strength and the spine to stand up” to Trump and Republicans. Still, she added that her party needs to boost the number of lawsuits against the Trump administration.

Democrats have one major card in their pocket to play before it is all over. With their slim majority in both chambers of Congress, Republicans need Democratic votes to pass their budget bill and avoid a government shutdown. However, despite that obvious strategy, Democrats have been reluctant to use it against Republicans.

I guess they realize that some money is better than no money.

Democrats are increasingly becoming a neutered party with no real message to win, except that “Trump is bad.” But outside of its hardcore base, the rest of American voters are looking for someone who will answer questions on how to fix the issues that directly affect them, like the economy and illegal immigration.

Democrats are so far unable to determine the path to victory in the new Trump era, let alone take any action to help Americans, leaving them in a difficult position as they enter what will be a challenging midterm battle against a more unified Republican opponent.

Embattled House Dem Drops Trump Impeachment Effort After Backlash From His Own Party

/in , , , , , , /by

Democratic Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar dropped his ill-fated effort to force the House to vote on his impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump following widespread pressure from Democrats to stand down.

Thanedar, an embattled two-term lawmaker facing a primary challenge from the left, filed a privileged resolution Tuesday that would have forced House Democrats to vote on seven articles of impeachment brought against the president. Thanedar’s decision to cave to House Democratic leadership and not trigger a vote Wednesday, comes as Democrats viewed his impeachment effort as a distraction from the conference’s united opposition against the president’s “one big, beautiful bill.”

“[A]fter talking with many colleagues, I have decided not to force a vote on impeachment today,” Thanedar wrote on X Wednesday afternoon. “Instead, I will add to my articles of impeachment and continue to rally the support of both Democrats and Republicans to defend the Constitution with me.”

Thanedar said earlier Wednesday he had no misgivings about making his colleagues, even Democratic lawmakers representing battleground districts Trump won in November, vote on his impeachment resolution.

“We’ve got to take a stand,” Thanedar told the Daily Caller News Foundation at a press conference Wednesday morning. “As a member of Congress we take hard votes every day. Every day there is a hard vote to take.”

“They [Democrats representing swing districts] just need to look into not what plays well politically, not what the polls are saying. We got to do the right thing. That’s what you [voters] sent us here to do,” the congressman added.

House Democratic Conference chair Pete Aguilar, the No. 3 House Democrat, publicly criticized Thanedar’s impeachment effort at his weekly news conference Wednesday.

Many House Democrats privately torched Thanedar to reporters with one lawmaker telling Axios under the protection of anonymity, “This is the dumbest fucking thing. Utterly selfish behavior.”

Another House Democrat told the outlet the anticipated impeachment vote was “a waste of fucking time.”

“Our focus is on health care being stripped away from the American people,” Aguilar said. “That is the most urgent and dire thing that we could be talking about this week. Everything else is a distraction.”

Thanedar did not rule out forcing a vote on his impeachment resolution in the future.

Discord In The DNC: Chairman Rebukes David Hogg’s Plan To Primary Incumbent House Dems

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin on Thursday rebuffed DNC Vice Chair David Hogg’s plans to primary incumbent House Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections.

Martin told reporters that Democratic party officers “can’t be both the referee and also the player at the same time,” Politico reported. He also said he is drafting proposed bylaw changes to require officers to stay neutral in all Democratic primaries, according to the outlet.

Martin’s comments come after Leaders We Deserve, a political organization co-founded by Hogg, pledged on April 15 to spend $20 million in an effort to help elect younger Democratic leaders, including primary challengers to incumbent House Democrats, in the midterms.

Hogg pushed back on Martin’s comments in an X post on Thursday, claiming that he was “not currently breaking” any DNC rules.

“They’re trying to change the rules because I’m not currently breaking them,” Hogg wrote in the social media post. “As we’re seeing law firms, tech companies, and so many others bowing to [President Donald] Trump, we all must use whatever position of power we have to fight back. And that’s exactly what I’m doing.”

Hogg stated in a separate X post that Americans “trust Donald Trump more on the economy than Democrats,” adding that too many Democratic Party leaders are “asleep at the wheel.”

Hogg’s plans to primary certain incumbent Congressional Democrats has sparked massive backlash from leaders in his own party. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday rebuked Hogg’s efforts to unseat some incumbent Democrats, telling Jonathan Karl on ABC News’ “This Week” that he will stand behind “every single Democratic incumbent” in the 2026 midterm elections.

The Democratic Party notably is facing a variety of struggles following the Republican Party’s victories in the 2024 election cycle, including declining approval ratings among voters. A Harvard Youth Poll released Wednesday found that the number of young Americans who approve of Congressional Democrats was just 23%, down from 42% in 2017.

A DNC spokesperson referred the Daily Caller News Foundation to an op-ed from Martin published by Time when reached for comment. A Leaders We Deserve spokesperson referred the DCNF to Hogg’s full thread posted to X on Thursday when reached for comment.

Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to reflect responses from spokespeople for the DNC and Leaders We Deserve.

40% of House Democrats Push Arms Embargo for Israel as IDF releases video from Hamas torture prison

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

77 House Democrats signed a letter promoting an ‘arms embargo’ on Israel. 

By Daniel Greenfield

While national Democrats are still reeling from the 2024 election disaster, House Democrats took a look and decided, “Let’s put AOC in charge of the House Oversight Committee”, let’s send a man, Rep. Tim McBride, into the Ladies Room and let’s call for an arms embargo on the Jewish State.

That might seem strange from 10,000 feet, but House Dems did pretty well in the 2024 election because they ‘magically’ flipped 3 seats in New York and California (among other places) by way of the usual Tammany Hall ballot harvesting and gerrymandering crookedness.

And that means they feel pretty comfortable going further leftward.

As a result, 77 House Democrats signed a letter promoting an ‘arms embargo’ on Israel. That’s 40% of the House Democrat lineup. If AOC is gonna run a key committee, House Dems are jumping on board. The signatories include the usual Iran Firsters, but also Rep. Jerrold Nadler and key rival Rep. Jamie Raskin, who just ousted him. It includes the usual ‘as a Jew’ lefties like Rep. Sara Jacobs.

House Democrats are signaling once again that they intend to keep going as far to the Left as they can.

And after Jewish voters sent a message by voting Republican in unprecedented numbers, the House Dems are sending a message that they are writing off the Jewish vote because they control New York and California.

IDF reveals new VIDEO from Hamas torture prison

In a now-released video clip from 2023, Hamas operatives are seen holding Palestinian detainees in harsh conditions and brutally torturing them.

The IDF spokesman also revealed the identities of the two Hamas internal security operatives who appear in the video. The footage was filmed at Al-Kitab prison in Gaza City, which IDF forces raided and removed the security camera footage.

IDF spokesman in Arabic Avichai Edraei wrote about the documents: “Hamas tried to disavow the Assad regime and the horrors of its prisons that are being exposed these days – but these documents leave no room for doubt: Hamas is no less cruel.”
