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.).
They released some body cam footage but it doesn’t show that so I’m assuming they aren’t releasing the video of the ICE agent getting body slammed by a Congressperson because it’s rad as fuck and that Congressperson would instantly be named Speaker of the House, Smack Down Champion, and a Cardinal by Chicago Pope regardless of their faith tradition.
Or maybe it just didn’t actually happen.
The rabid Congresswoman that did the alleged assaulting:
Contrast with these softies got their asses handed to them
This checks out!
She body slammed one and threw the rest off the prison roof like when Undertaker threw Mankind off the cage in that Hell in the Cell match.
“God almighty! God almighty! As God as my witness, he is broken in half!”
That man had a family!
Honestly makes me miss ShittyMorph
Wait what happened to Shittymorph?
For the unaware, u/ShittyMorph was once a prolific redditor, who was a mainstay on the website, so much so he became the beta testers for tips on reddit. While haven’t been on reddit for years, I do fondly remember most of the interactions he had with people. I don’t think I’ll ever forget how he donated his kidney to someone who was there in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
Fascists are the biggest cry bullies.
Now this is a SLAMming I can get behind. Get SLAMMED, idiots.
Democrats didn’t have the will to arrest Trump, and now guess what…
Good thing Merrick Garland dragged his feet, probably so the democrats could fundraise on Trump.
And Schumer will send another strongly worded letter.
Freaking ass had the chance to alter history potentially and he fucked it up.
Oh right, between ICE agents and house politicians, the latter really are the ones who everyone would believe to be the ones physically assaulting someone.
They need to pull a “No u” with dRump and release an arrest warrant for the treasonous 47th and his goons. 😬
Too bad they don’t have the balls to do things even at these level… Hopefully they get their heads out their ass before it’s too late.
Good to hear that there are zero consequences so far for the ICE guys
Trump starting to arrest his political oppenents. Germany 1933, chile 1973, so many other historical examples…
Here you are, USA. Enjoy the ride.
Ready the muskets.
The Judiciary will have a fucking field day…
…until they get disappeared by ICE.
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?
Democrats: break the law
Trump: “Well ok arrest them”
Democrats: Pikachu
Republicans: break the law
OsrsNeedsF2P: “The democrats broke the law!”
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.
