The claim is misleading because available reporting supports that the DNC's Resolutions Committee approved a resolution calling for ICE's abolition, but also reports disagreement over abolition versus reform and does not establish that the full DNC approved it unanimously.

Verified August 15, 2026Key Evidence
The Baltimore Sun, Solwd, America First Report, SignalSCV, and The Epoch Times all describe the DNC's Resolutions Committee as approving or advancing an ICE-abolition resolution at the committee's Austin meeting.
Newsday reports that Democrats disagreed over abolishing versus reforming ICE, and The Epoch Times similarly notes that some members backed reform rather than abolition.
None of the supplied source summaries verifies a unanimous vote by the full DNC.
The reporting
What the Evidence Shows
The central policy claim is supported in a limited sense: multiple reports published around August 13-14, 2026, say that a Democratic National Committee Resolutions Committee approved or advanced a resolution calling for the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
However, the statement materially overstates what the sources establish in two ways:
• "The Democratic National Committee" versus its Resolutions Committee: Most of the supplied reports specifically identify the Resolutions Committee as the body that approved or advanced the measure. That is not necessarily the same as approval by the full DNC.
• "Unanimously": The available summaries do not confirm a unanimous vote. Newsday reports disagreement among Democrats at the meeting over abolishing versus reforming ICE, while The Epoch Times says some members supported reform rather than abolition. These reports conflict with, or at least undermine, the claim of unanimity.
Newsweek's headline says the DNC voted to back eliminating ICE, and Common Dreams describes the DNC as advancing a resolution to abolish the agency. Those accounts support the broader assertion that a DNC-related body backed such a resolution, but they do not clearly verify unanimous approval by the full committee or organization.
The most precise supported formulation is: The DNC Resolutions Committee approved or advanced a resolution calling for ICE's abolition, amid disagreement over whether the agency should instead be reformed.
