Voted yea on H.Res. 488 (Resolution condemning anti-Zionist violence and expressing gratitude to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents) on 2025-06-11: Brown was one of only 75 House Democrats to vote YES on a resolution that, while condemning anti-Zionist violence, also expressed gratitude to ICE — the same agency she had called 'out-of-control' and repeatedly voted against funding. Pro-Israel groups are her single largest donor sector ($1.14M career). A constituent wrote this vote 'feels so disappointing' given Brown's anti-ICE record. The vote illustrates the gravitational pull of pro-Israel donor pressure.

Voted nay on H.R. 7147 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026) on 2026-03-27: Brown voted against the final DHS funding bill that funded ICE and CBP, consistent with her record of opposing immigration enforcement agencies. Her district is 97% citizen with only 6.32% foreign-born, giving her political insulation on immigration. However, DHS also funds FEMA and TSA functions that serve her district, creating cross-pressure between her anti-ICE stance and constituent disaster-preparedness and travel needs.

[vote] Brown was one of only 75 House Democrats to vote YES on H.Res. 488, which condemned an act of anti-Zionist violence but also included language expressing 'gratitude to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents' — the very agency she had repeatedly voted against funding and called 'out-of-control.'

[disclosure] Brown's 2021 campaign website featured a 'red box' — a campaign industry technique for signaling to Super PACs which attack lines to use against opponents — that led Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI) to spend over $1.5 million on her behalf. DMFI received substantial Republican donor funding and was among the largest outside spenders in Democratic primaries. Federal law prohibits coordination between campaigns and Super PACs; red-boxing operates in a legal gray area.
