A heated scuffle outside a recently reopened immigration detention facility in New Jersey could result in even more arrests of Democratic politicians, an administration official tells Daily Mail.
Democratic Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested at the facility on Friday after a dramatic clash with immigration enforcement officers.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said there could be more arrests made, but said there is an ongoing investigation into the incident.
Video obtained by Daily Mail shows Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) pushing and aggressively shoving at least one member of law enforcement guarding the gates at Delaney Hall, a Newark detention center that was recently reopened.
'Arrests are certainly on the table for anyone who assaults a police officer – members of Congress are not above the law,' McLaughlin told Daily Mail.
President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan warned elected Democratic officials that if they 'cross that line' from protesting to impeding, they will face consequences.
'They can stand out and scream all they want,' Homan said, but claimed any other actions will be treated appropriately. 'They can trespass, they'll be arrested. If they impede, they will be arrested.'

Was FUZZ there protesting President Trump?

If you ever watched Star Trek, you’d know to never wear a red shirt.
Fat and ugly. I’d be angry too if the gods and genes were that mean to me.
“Could result in even more arrests of Democratic politicians, arrests are certainly on the table, if they impede, they will be arrested”… STOP FRIGGIN’TALKING ABOUT IT AND DO IT! For God’s sake, the Demonic Party frame and make up crimes to arrest conservatives, and you limp-wristed asswipes won’t even arrest them for crimes that have been videotaped.
I had no idea why the Democrats are fighting on this issue - violent criminal aliens… but it seems increasingly that their motive is larger social unrest. They don’t want debate, or reason, or new laws. They want chaos. Same playbook they used in 2020. Even if it’s an 80-20 issue, you can recruit a lot of agitators from that 20%. It’s very Machiavellian of them. They are willing to sacrifice the social contract order hoping that enough violence in the streets will cause the 80% to have second thoughts.
Anyway no one is above the law so charge them and prosecute them if they trespass, if they assault, if they impede or if they lie to a federal agent.
It’s not God or genes, it’s Cheetos and cakes.

Who doesn’t believe that we have the best politicians money can buy?
Trump should offer them all pardons...or prosecution.
Publicly.
You don’t see that many pitches straight and dead center in the middle of the plate. When you see one you gotta swing.
Looks like an insurrection to me. Lock them all in the gulag for the rest of Trump’s term.
Democrats are notorious for being soft on violent crimes. Republicans are just as notorious for being soft on elected officials' crimes. Even Trump said, "Lock her up", and then did nothing.
This has escalated past the point of sincere concern and into the heady realm of actually threatening to think about doing something. The country shudders on the brink.
Sorry to say they will take him up on that.
I should have bought those noise-cancelling, sound deadening headphones.
Waters, Omar, AOC, Schumer, Hakeem....and a cast of thousands.
Yeah, the biggest thing since the old angry letters to the editor of printed newspapers. The Deep State is trembling in fear. /S
One constant. It's still no way to go through life.
Animals.
More and more, all the “mights”, “coulds” and “ongoing” investigations underscore the different tiers of justice between citizens and the political class. Just STFU and tell us after you’ve done it
