· KRGV (NBC 5)
During the Democratic National Committee's summer meeting in Austin, Texas, members expressed differing views on the future of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). A proposal to abolish ICE was met with both support and opposition, highlighting divisions within the party ahead of the midterm elections. While some members, like Michele Johnson from Louisiana, argued for abolition citing past precedents, others, including Yvonne Reeves-Chong, cautioned against alienating voters. DNC Chair Ken Martin emphasized a shared concern among Democrats regarding the current administration's immigration policies, stating that a better approach is necessary. The vote was non-binding and does not set the party's platform for the 2028 convention.
