Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said in a new interview that she is most inspired when she sees people obstructing ICE.
"Some of the most inspiring things have been when people encircle courtrooms and refuse to allow ICE agents in," Jayapal said during a conversation with Joy Reid on Friday's episode of "The Joy Reid Show."
"There are all kinds of nonviolent resistance tactics that we have to use," Jayapal added. "And I've started something called Resistance Lab… It's a training on really the documented most effective ways to counter democratic backsliding, nonviolent resistance tactics to build that movement."
The Resistance Lab website, which includes a page on Jayapal’s new book, "USE THE POWER YOU HAVE: A Brown Woman’s Guide to Politics and Political Change," is advertising a "Virtual Organizing Training 1.0" on July 13.
The website says that Jayapal "knew we need a way to turn our anger, fear, and frustration into action and progress. That’s exactly why she launched The Resistance Lab, an in-depth organizing training to build our movement and give you the tools you need in this moment. The scary truth is that democracies fall in a matter of months. So this is an immediate, urgent matter – and we need to quickly build our capacity to resist."
"We've already trained over 10,000 people in all 50 states," Jayapal told Reid. "And the next one's coming up on July 13. So, we're going to keep doing those, because that is what we have to realize is the United States has been complacent for too long. We think that maybe these checks and balances were supposed to keep us safe, but we're seeing that they assume that people on the other side also care about the Constitution. Not the case right now."

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Arrest this ugly Palestinian terrorist for insurrection. Now. Perp walk on CNN.
There is a purpose for the massive numbers of border jumpers overwhelming our Democratic Republic. There are Marxists in our country whose effort is to protect their class of border-jumpers who are their future voters.Through them, they will build a Marxist state. We see Marxist policies of wealth transfer from the middle class to these poor, deprived, puppets. The Marxist DemonKKKrats will exploit these procured masses using our tax dollars for instituting a Marxist system of political power.
Exactly.
It is WAY past time for the left to be repaid in kind.
Sponge-Brain Squareface has spoken.
It’s a blockhead square face.
From the outset, the sympathy extended to illegal immigrants was intended to increase the number of Democrat voters. Now the Democrats, in their cynicism, refuse to give any of them up.
And her politician sister looks just like her.
“how many arrests have they prevented?”

America needs gangs of foreigners?
What happened to politicians who worked for the American people ...
1. Money. It is too easy to “bride” politicians. Campaign donations is just one way, but then you have “speaker fees” and “book deals”, and don’t forget inside trading.
2. Blackmail - I have long suspected that the FBI while doing investigation uncover crimes but rather then arrest and prosecute they use that information to control elected officials.
I agree, especially with blackmail. Indeed, there is no other way to explain Pelosi’s rise to power. She did nothing of note to warrant her position. However, her husband is a Mafia-type thug who probably has a Little Black Book on every member of Congress. Pelosi did work hard to get American Samoa exempt from Federal minimum wage laws. Why? Guess who has a major interest in a tuna fish plant in American Samoa? Also, insider trading should be illegal by Congress.
