DNC Divided on ICE: Party Approves Dueling Resolutions
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) voted on Saturday to approve two competing resolutions regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). One resolution calls for ICE's abolition, while the other demands concrete reforms. This division comes as Democrats seek a unified immigration message ahead of the midterm elections.

Meanwhile, the White House rejected the abolition resolution, with a spokesperson highlighting ICE's role in deporting criminals.6 sourcesSee all sourcesIndians Set Guinness World Record for Mass Parachute Jump with National Flags
