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.).
Democrats: break the law
Trump: “Well ok arrest them”
Democrats: Pikachu
When the law is unethical, breaking it is a moral duty. The democrats going to jail now have infinitely more spine than the republicans who hurried off to the underground tunnels during J6 only to turn around and claim it was a totally peaceful tour.
Mmmmm, boots taste delicious, don’t you think?
Republicans: break the law
OsrsNeedsF2P: “The democrats broke the law!”
Please stop assaulting me, you’re breaking the law.
See how easy it is to just say things?
