Long Island’s two House Dems defied their party’s leaders last week to back a GOP-led spending bill that pumps more cash into ICE — sparking outrage from the left demanding they be booted from office.
Reps. Laura Gillen and Tom Suozzi — two proudly self-described “moderate” Democrats representing large portions of Long Island — joined their Republican colleagues Thursday in passing a $64.4 billion funding package for the Department of Homeland Security that includes about $10 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The pair’s votes, which helped the bill pass the House 220-207, has sparked sharp pushback from many Democrats who are now publicly calling for the pair to be challenged in their primary races.
