Suffice to say, this hasn’t been a fun time for the moderate Democrat from Long Island since he voted in support of DHS’s funding bill, and therefore ICE as well. Suozzi was one of just seven Democrats who thought it was in their own interests to do so.

The blowback is not slowing down for Representative Tom Suozzi, in the wake of his vote to continue funding ICE.
Several strategically placed activists appeared at an event in Suozzi’s district Tuesday night, wielding a diaper, kneepads, and some harsh words for the Long Island Democrat.
“I wanted to get something for you: This is an adult diaper for when you pee yourself in front of Donald Trump,” said a man associated with the group Climate Defiance as he approached the dais. “You can wear this, it’s really nice. You’re the type of leader we need right now, someone who soils himself when the fascists are at our door.”
And after he was whisked away by security, another brought kneepads for Suozzi to better service the President.
Suozzi was one of seven liberal lawmakers who voted in support of the Department of Homeland Security’s $64.4 billion funding bill last week. At the time, Suozzi argued that the bill—and by extension, his vote—was not intended to expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
