One of the seven House Democrats who voted with Republicans to advance a Department of Homeland Security<\/a> (DHS) spending bill last week is now characterizing his vote as a mistake, highlighting growing unrest among moderate Democrats over the department’s funding even as lawmakers look to escape a looming government shutdown.<\/p>\n

In the wake of a deadly clash between immigration enforcement and agitators in Minnesota over the weekend, Rep. Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y., apologized publicly for his vote in a post to Facebook.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

“I failed to view the DHS funding vote as a referendum on the illegal and immoral conduct of ICE in Minneapolis,” Suozzi said, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a key agency in President Donald Trump’s<\/a> immigration crackdown efforts.<\/p>\n

“I hear the anger from my constituents and I take responsibility for that. I have long been critical of ICE\u2019s unlawful behavior, and I must do a better job demonstrating that,” he added.<\/p>\n

The other six Democrats contacted by Fox News Digital did not respond to inquiries about their votes.<\/p>\n

Suozzi’s comments come as Democrats in the Senate are signaling growing opposition to passing the DHS bill and funding the government ahead of a possible shutdown on Jan. 30. The DHS bill, which includes funding for ICE, is part of a four-bill package that the House of Representatives passed last week.<\/p>\n

The political outlook of the DHS funding bill changed over the weekend with the death of Alex Pretti.<\/a><\/p>\n

According to DHS, ICE officers shot and killed Pretti, 37, in a confrontation on Saturday when Pretti attempted to disrupt law enforcement activities while in possession of a firearm. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem<\/a> has said agents acted in self-defense.<\/p>\n

Pretti is the second civilian shot by ICE in the past month.<\/p>\n

The Friday before Pretti\u2019s death, Suozzi and six other Democrats<\/a> broke with the rest of their party to advance a DHS funding bill that the majority of the party had condemned as inadequate in its provisions on ICE.<\/p>\n

Even with new body camera requirements, additional training mandates and some reductions in funding, Democrats saw the package as unlikely to prevent future deadly clashes between ICE and agitators.<\/p>\n

Rep. Ilhan Omar,<\/a> D-Minn., and the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of over 70 lawmakers, said they wouldn\u2019t support a spending bill that didn\u2019t include greater guardrails for ICE.<\/p>\n

“I am glad to announce that the Congressional Progressive Caucus has adopted an official position to hold ICE accountable<\/a>. Our caucus members will oppose all funding for immigration enforcement in any appropriations bills until meaningful reforms are enacted to end militarized policing practices,” Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said at a press event shortly before Republicans unveiled their DHS bill last week.<\/p>\n

Their calls were soon adopted by party leadership in the chamber.<\/p>\n

Now, with the death of Pretti, what little support the DHS funding had among Democrats is dwindling further.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Suozzi, who had highlighted his role as one of seven Democrats to support the bill on his website, called on Trump to end his ICE deportation campaign.<\/p>\n

“The senseless and tragic murder of Alex Pretti underscores what happens when untrained federal agents operate without accountability. President Trump must immediately end \u2018Operation Metro Surge\u2019 and ICE\u2019s occupation of Minneapolis<\/a> that has sown chaos, led to tragedy and undermined experienced local law enforcement,” Suozzi said.<\/p>\n

The Senate is expected to vote<\/a> on the bundle of four bills in the coming days. Questions remain whether negotiators will modify the DHS package to avoid a shutdown if Democrats remain united in their opposition.<\/p>\n

If modified, the package would have to be taken up again in the House. U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson<\/a>, R-La., has said he has no intention of bringing the House back in the coming week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
