Foreign-born Rep. Shri Thanedar openly threatened to prosecute his political enemies this week — a reminder of what Democrats plan to do if they get power back.
During a committee hearing Tuesday, Thanedar — struggling to speak English — threatened to prosecute Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott when President Donald Trump is out of office.
“You better hope you get pardoned because you will be held accountable for the absolute disregard of the law your agencies have shown over the past year,” Thanedar threatened.
“Your agencies have lost the trust of the American people, with millions taking to the streets to protect the illegal actions of your agencies. And that’s why I introduce a bill in the United States Congress to abolish ICE. ICE must be abolished,” he continued.
Putting aside the irony of a congressman accusing ICE and Border Patrol of “disregarding” the law while ignoring the millions of illegal aliens who have done exactly that, something far more disturbing is happening. Democrats are explicitly threatening to imprison political opponents for enforcing duly enacted law — resurrecting their 2024 playbook.
And Thanedar is hardly an outlier.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries previously warned on CNN that Democrats would target Trump and other Trump-related people.
“One thing to understand as people who are flirting with the Trump administration, or doing the bidding of the Trump administration, or engaging in the pay-to-play schemes of the Trump administration: The statute of limitations is five years. Donald Trump and this toxic administration will be long gone, but there will still be accountability to be had.”
During a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing with lawfare specialist Jack Smith, Democrat Hank Johnson asked whether the indictments against Trump can be “re-brought or resurrected after … Trump leaves office.”
Smith said the indictments were “dismissed without prejudice,” to which Johnson pressed: “So they can be re-filed, and he can be prosecuted after he leaves office. Is that correct?”
Gov. J.B. Pritzker, D-Ill., said Trump is “not going to be president forever,” and prosecutions can come in the future.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said as long as Democrats get a House majority back, they intend to go after Trump’s family as well.
Left-wing commentators have also suggested as much, with Pivot podcast co-host Scott Galloway arguing that “there should be something equivalent to the Nuremberg Trials once this is all over.”
“And to make it clear: once we’re back in power — which we will be — this is going to happen. And the statute of limitations on murder is never,” he continued.
Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings said: “The ‘prosecute the former regime at every level’ candidate has my vote in 2028.”
Taken together, these threats make clear Democrats will use political power not to govern, but to punish those who tried to govern, just as they did in 2024. The only difference is this time, they’d know how to succeed in areas where they failed in the past.

It seems to me that the democRATs involved with opening our borders to illegal invasion and who give them sanctuary in their cities or states are the ones who should be prosecuted.
Retribution!
He’s toning it down a little. They plan to kill us.
This piece of garbage should be returned to Karnataka
We saw what they did to Republicans last term - dozens jailed but not ONE single criminal democrat has even had charges filed against them.
The heck...????
Ok, so Pres. Trump will just pardon them. Assuming the rats lose which I’m fairly certain that they will, and J.D. Vance wins in 2028, the rats are the ones who better watch their sorry asses.
How is our country being taken over by foreign born in aders.

I’m not gay but he is one ugly mofo.
Because we allowed it?
Looks kind of in-bred.
Denaturalize and deport.
Attention-whore Rep. Shri Thanedar did not completely drop his plans but backed down from immediately forcing a vote on impeaching Donald Trump in May 2025.
After facing pressure from Democratic leadership, who deemed it a distraction, he paused the effort to add more articles of impeachment, aiming to build more support instead.
Key details:
Initial Action: In late April 2025, Rep. Thanedar unveiled seven articles of impeachment against President Trump. On May 14, 2025, he decided against forcing an immediate vote following conversations with colleagues and party leaders.
Reasoning: Democratic leaders indicated the effort was ill-timed and distracting from other priorities, notes this YouTube video.
Future Plans: Thanedar indicated he would continue to build a case and “add to [his] articles of impeachment” rather than completely abandoning the effort, reports Politico.

Fact is they will get back in power again and the deep blue states won’t change while they’re working on it. Will they encroach to the red?
Foreign borns should be banned from elected office.
We have enough problems with the home grown left.
I’m thinking maybe that’s how his face appears after some severe injury in a car accident. All functional, but not symetrical or aesthetically pleasing.
