75 House Democrats broke with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries today and voted for a Republican resolution that condemned the Boulder attack and celebrated ICE.

Why it matters: Democrats spent the day criticizing President Trump for sending in the National Guard to put down protests in Los Angeles over ICE operations.

Earlier in the day, Jeffries said the House resolution "is not a serious effort."
A majority of his caucus, 113 members, voted against the resolution. But a third of House Democrats voted to express "gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland."
