U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi walked back his support for a major Department of Homeland Security spending bill on Monday, Jan. 26, after a federal immigration agent fatally shot a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis, intensifying backlash over the role of ICE.
Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) and U.S. Rep. Laura Gillen (D-Rockville Centre) were the only two Long Island Democrats who crossed party lines Thursday, Jan. 22, to vote for the $64 billion Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill, which passed the House of Representatives 220-207 with the support of all but one Republican and seven Democrats.
