Jeffries warns against arresting New Jersey Democrats involved in immigration protest

“They’ll find out. They’ll find out. They’ll find out,” Hakeem Jeffries said Tuesday.

==============================================================

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries warned Republicans and federal law enforcement against sanctioning or arresting three Democratic New Jersey lawmakers who were involved in a tense immigration protest.

“They’ll find out. They’ll find out. They’ll find out,” Jeffries said Tuesday when asked how he’d respond if officials arrested or sanctioned Democratic Reps. Rob Menendez, LaMonica McIver and Bonnie Watson Coleman. “That’s a red line. It’s a red line, it’s very clear.”

The three Democrats were inspecting the new ICE facility, which is set to play a major role in White House Northeast immigration operations, and were involved in a scrum when federal agents arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who authorities said was trespassing.

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson on Saturday said arrests for the three lawmakers were “on the table.” Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) has proposed stripping them of committee assignments.

“First of all, I think that the so-called homeland security spokesperson is a joke,” Jeffries said. “It’s a joke. They know better than to go down that road. And it’s been made loudly and abundantly clear to the Trump administration. We’re not going to be intimidated by their tactics to try to force principled opposition from not standing up to their extremism.”

So, congressional Dems can break the law with impunity?

Jan 6, 2025, Hakeem Jeffries: “The thugs who were part of the violent mob on January 6 desecrated the Capitol, threatened to hang the Vice President, assassinate the Speaker of the House and hunt down Members of Congress...They were not peace-loving individuals.”

Jan 6, 2022, Hakeem Jeffries: “House Democrats remain focused on defending the Constitution and the rule of law. Through the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, we hope to get to the whole truth and nothing but the truth with respect to the events of that day and understand how we can prevent a violent insurrection from ever happening again. One year later, we must continue to hold those who inflamed, encouraged and participated in the insurrection accountable because no one is above the law. That is the American way.”

Bondi making sure all of the i's are dotted and t's are crossed.

This is very dangerous territory, got to be a slam-dunk, (like no chance of a commie judge interfering).

Don’t want them arrested...

OK.

Then exercise Art 1 Sec 5 of the Constitution and expell them.

Either works for me.

What a clown. Threats are pathetic when you can’t back them up. They were warned when they started prosecuting and jailing Trump admin officials. Fortunately, they are now dealing with the Trump admin, not “their friends on the other side of the aisle” who would spend the next three years pontificating. Their lack of foresight is laughable

The Dems are hollering about arrests, which if they were even a bit honest, the rioters deserve arrest. However, they are yapping about this topic like an Weiner dog at a stranger. Meanwhile, Trump is re-wiring the Middle East and these light weights are clambering for attention. There should be a price to pay that those Dems cannot escape. If the Dems think they have a set up for PDJT, Trump can work around their juvenile hijinks. Low IQ hypocrites.
