Looks like Republicans on the midterm ballot (and Trump redistricting plan) are feeling the heat from the ICE melt. Abbot’s criticism is in the headline.

Agree that we need to abolish ICE. But that can't happen next week when the Senate votes on the DHS bill. Dems need to be united and vote down the funding bill & then force a larger discussion. For now, WE HAVE TO CALL CONGRESS, even if you have a DEM in your state. I'm focusing on #SenTimKaine-VA
I don’t care how much political capital we need to spend to rid this country of Trump and Vance’s secret police.
You cannot fix ICE. You cannot reform ICE. We must abolish ICE.

Pelosi always made sure he had DCCC support at election time, so he voted with her when it counted.
