Democrats disagree over abolishing or reforming ICE at DNC meeting
The vote is nonbinding, but it highlights Democrats’ split over immigration as an AP-NORC poll found 39% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s handling.
- In Austin, Texas, the Democratic National Committee approved dueling policy positions on Saturday regarding ICE, reflecting internal party disagreement on how to oppose President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
- Following three fatal encounters in July, calls to abolish ICE intensified as a progressive rallying cry, renewing internal friction during the party's summer meeting.

- Though the vote is not binding, broader dissatisfaction emerges; only 39% of U.S. adults approve of Trump's immigration performance, down from 49% earlier this year.
