Facing a January 30 deadline for another federal government shutdown, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Tuesday that the Democratic leadership would not seek to block funding of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other units of the Department of Homeland Security.

The American Prospect reported that several Democrats in closely contested districts would be voting for the ICE appropriation. “They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement,” an unnamed source told the liberal magazine. “They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

      Did you mean Gen X as gen Z is in the younger than millennial camp.

      Don’t get me wrong a specific subset of Z actually did get housing and good jobs because of their parents covid money but otherwise excluding that minority it doesnt match them and overwhelmingly matches the apathetic Gen X
