Maureen Tracy, of Glen Cove, made clear her feelings about ICE’s activities.
Suozzi backtracks on ICE funding By RoKSANA AMID & WIll SHEElINE of the Sea Cliff/Glen Head Herald
More than 50 current and former constituents gathered outside the Glen Cove office of Rep.

We did door-todoor for him. We supported him 100 percent. There are plenty of fabulous people in our communities who are not criminals like they’re trying to say.” Outside Suozzi’s office, demonstrators held signs and chanted, drawing a mix of encouragement and criticism from passing drivers. One shouted, “Get a job!” prompting a protester to respond, “Get a conscience!” Other drivers honked in support and asked how they could help. The rally was sparked by Suozzi’s Jan. 22 vote in favor of a $64 billion Department of ConTInuEd on paGE 11
