Trumps DHS Considers More Dem Arrests After ICE Facility Protest
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson stated that the arrest of Democratic lawmakers, who were on an oversight visit at an immigration detention facility in New Jersey, is being considered. Tricia McLaughlin mentioned that more arrests may follow, including Mayor Ras Baraka, who was among those arrested protesting the reopening of Delaney Hall. Mayor Baraka, later released, stated that nobody instructed him to leave the facility. Multiple outlets reported that New Jersey Democratic Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez, and LaMonica McIver were also present at the facility. McLaughlin accused them of trespassing, while Menendez insisted that members of Congress have a legal right to conduct oversight visits at DHS facilities. The situation escalated when DHS officials accused the lawmakers of assaulting ICE officers. Watson Coleman denied these allegations and criticized the administration for abusing their power.
