U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, whose South Texas district includes part of San Antonio, is one of 75 House Democrats who crossed the aisle Monday to sign a resolution expressing “gratitude to ICE.” The Republican-backed House Resolution 488 expressed thanks to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement even as the agency draws criticism for arresting undocumented migrants outside immigration courts and on worksites. Vicente Gonzalez Jr., a South Texas Democrat whose district includes Brownsville, also signed.
