House Democrats were divided over whether to support a resolution to condemn the antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado and “express gratitude” for the work of federal immigration law enforcement.
The resolution cleared the House with a 280 to 113 vote, as 75 Democrats crossed party lines to join Republicans in support. Meanwhile, 113 Democrats opposed the measure, and six opted to vote present.
Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO) and other Colorado Republicans introduced a three-page resolution condemning the attack that also expresses “gratitude” to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for “protecting the homeland.”

An earlier version of the resolution labeled “Free Palestine” an “antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and the Jewish people.” That phrase was ultimately taken out of the legislation.
