WASHINGTON—Democrats’ failure to get behind a House resolution to support Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel has made the midterm election battle “immensely harder for themselves,” said Steve Cortes, a CNN political commentator and head of presidential candidate Donald Trump’s 2016 Hispanic advisory council.
H.Res.990, “supporting the officers and personnel who carry out the important mission of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” was introduced on July 11 by Rep. Clay Higgins (R–La.) and passed with a 244–35 vote on July 18.
