WASHINGTON _ House Democrats are brushing off the looming threat of a vote on a controversial proposal to abolish Immigrations and Customs Enforcement that Republicans believe will be a "political lose-lose" for Democrats.
Democrats say they won't support the bill sponsored by nine of their own members that Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has said he intends to bring up for a vote on the House floor.
"No Democratic member will vote for it so it's just a dumb move," said a Democratic leadership aide, adding the bill doesn't technically abolish ICE. "Regardless, the Republican effort falls flat."
