Democratic members of Congress who were part of a scuffle with law enforcement officers at an ICE facility in New Jersey may face arrests, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Axios Saturday.
Why it matters: It would be a major escalation in the Trump administration’s arrests of politicians and other public servants, including the mayor of Newark and a judge in Milwaukee.
- DHS is accusing the House Democrats of assaulting law enforcement. The lawmakers say they were the ones who were assaulted.
- The lawmakers involved in the incident: Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), Rob Menendez (D-N.J.) and LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.).
If they broke the law arrest them and charge them. If not, leave them alone.
Seems pretty straight forward.
You again? Well it’s not illegal and you don’t care about the law because so many of these republicans are breaking it and you don’t care about that.
Oh I’m flattered that you know who I am. I have no idea who you are and don’t intend to even attempt to remember. Rent free baby!
What’s not illegal? Did you even read my post? I said IF THEY BROKE THE LAW ARREST THEM AND CHARGE THEM. What on earth is there to get your knickers in a bunch about in that statement?
Seems you can’t argue the point, but the person instead.
Because the law isn’t always right and ICE is a dog shit thing anyway so honestly nah if the representatives broke the law shoot ICE anyway fuck em.
Also I dunno you never heard of you or seen you post but you seem like a smarmy little swine
Well the law is what is legal. If people break the law, they should be charged. This is hardly a new concept. You don’t think lawbreakers should be charged?
No I don’t because if they were this country wouldn’t exist.
It is American to resist bullshit laws. The founding fathers made that clear so no you’re wrong now sit down and shut up
Ok so murder should be allowed? Break and enter is fine and dandy?
You’re not wrong, but that idealism assumes that the law is just and supported by due process and the writ of habeus corpus…not the desires of an unchecked tyrant.
We are currently in the latter.
It’s very concerning that people like you are unable to foresee the consequences of that.
So when I said:
Where did I say leave out due process?
Also there is no “unchecked tyrant” lol. Literally everything the US President is trying to do is being “checked” and litigated against.
