Who exactly are the Democrats fighting for, anyway?
According to a Fox News report, three New Jersey Democrats who visited an ICE detention center on Friday and got into it with federal agents could face arrest, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
“Lawmakers LaMonica McIver, Bonnie Watson Coleman and Rob Menendez allegedly stormed the Delaney Hall Detention Center, along with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was arrested and charged with trespassing. Authorities claim an ICE agent was assaulted in the confrontation, which was caught on camera,” Fox News reports.
“If it was a typical U.S. citizen, and they tried to storm into a detention facility that’s housing dangerous criminals or any person at all, they would be arrested,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Live host Kevin Corke Saturday. “Just because you are a member of Congress or just because you’re a public official, does not mean you are above the law.
McLaughlin also spoke with CNN about the scuffle.

Why are these Democrat politicians so hell-bent on getting these heinous actors out of this facility that they would storm the facility & put law enforcement at risk? pic.twitter.com/ako8XAD7GV— Tricia McLaughlin (@TriciaOhio) May 10, 2025
U.S. Attorney for NJ Alina Habba blasted the Democrats for “grandstanding.”
"It's called grandstanding… When you break the law, there's no grandstanding that will help you."
