House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries accused the Trump administration of “clearly trying to intimidate Democrats” after federal agents handcuffed one of Rep. Jerry Nadler’s aides in his Manhattan office.
The Department of Homeland Security stormed into Nadler’s (D-NY) Big Apple office last week and alleged that his staff was “harboring rioters.” Jeffries (D-NY) largely refrained from delving too much into the specifics of the altercation, but slammed the administration.
“I think the administration is clearly trying to intimidate Democrats, in the same way that they’re trying to intimidate the country,” Jeffries told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
Jeffries previously dubbed the arresting of Congressional Democrats a “red line,” but caveated that Dems will decide how to respond “in a time, place, and manner of our choosing.”
“Let me make clear that the House is a separate and co-equal branch of government, the Congress,” he added earlier in the interview. “We don’t work for Donald Trump. We don’t work for the administration.”
“We work for the American people.”
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul similarly ripped into the dramatic encounter.
“Unbelievable. Unbelievable, that’s my reaction to it,” Hochul told The Post Sunday.

Well, karma is a witch.
Nadless Jeffries and nadless Hochul join Nadless Nadler in raging against the rule of law.
Intimidation? Really? After all they did to DJT they can just go F’ themselves.
Yeah, intimidate law breakers.
Hakim is an idiot. Being a congressperson (or their staff, does not give them the right to violate the law. They have also been warned not to interfere with ICE doing its job which they apparently think they can dol.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, liar, you work for yourselves. Lefties don't give a crap about "the American people" and they prove it every....single....day.
Hock-eem.
Yeah, because 5:00 AM FBI SWAT raids with a CNN news team in tow aren’t intimidating.
Hakeem - the wet dream - Jeffries.
Co equal branch of government my foot.
You don’t hear him spouting that bunk when rookie fed judges are over ruling
the President.
Hochul: Unbelievable, unbelievable!"
Jeffries & Hochul unite in their claims that Congressional Democrats are above the Law and ipso facto cannot be arrested.
Meaning: Do this and "at a time of our choosing" we will release riot dogs such as those Team Nadler were sheltering (because that's our Communist way).
I’m just disappointed Nadless and dollar store Onambla weren’t arrested.
“Lefties don’t give a crap about “the American people” and they prove it every....single....day.”
Nether do most righties.
Hochul: Unbelievable, unbelievable!”
Believe it Chompers.
Intimidate?
Oh the irony. It’s hilarious.
Harboring rioters where, in Jerry’s pants?
And they don’t do much work either
For all the screeching, you’d think Bongino himself raided Hochul’s dildo drawer with CNN in tow.
Remember - NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. We know because Democrats have been saying that for years now.
