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.).
doooooo iiiiiiiiit
why…?
Because the Dems need to get off the floor and start attacking. They - and let’s face it, most everyone with half an ounce of reason - is hoping they can hang tight until the midterms, win the house back, and undo everything in four years.
but why would you want trump to arrest them
But why male models?
So they get off their asses and fucking do something? I thought they were clear about that.
Would they get off their asses? The ones being arrested are probably not the ones that would sit on their asses, so the whole premise of his argument is that we assume the ones who would sit on their asses would even care enough about their colleague to do something other than capitulate to the fascist even more than what they are already doing now. I hope you guys are right.
