BREAKING: the Democratic National Committee just unanimously approved a resolution calling for the abolition of ICE! After terrorizing our friends, families, and neighbors, ICE has no place in our nation. I'm grateful @democrats.org agreed. Now we're onto the hard work to make that happen!

The AP is reporting they also approved a resolution calling for the reform of ICE. Is that a committee vs general vote issue?

Can you forward the article you're referencing? The DNC did pass a resolution at our last meeting calling simply for "reforming" ICE. But the resolution we passed today clearly said "abolish."

Ah, thank you for flagging. I found the "concrete reforms" phrase. (See that reso below.) I read this resolution as more of a floor than the ceiling the "abolish" language clearly is.

It's all very unclear. Multiple outlets are referring to "a separate proposal calling for agency reforms" alongside this one to abolish ICE. But apparently no journalists actually wrote down or recorded what was said, because NOWHERE can I find anything less vague than this.
