Republicans successfully cornered some moderate House Democrats into voting on a resolution condemning the protests in Los Angeles over Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity. But not as many Democrats crossed the aisle this time as have in other recent votes on immigration issues.
Seven Democrats joined Republicans in condemning the protests, which have become a rallying cry for liberals regarding President Donald Trump’s overreach.
At least one of the Democrats who voted for the motion acknowledged that the vote was more about politics than it was about law and order.
