Representative Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said Monday on CNN’s “News Central” that officers with the Department of Homeland Security had no right to enter his congressional office and briefly detained a staff member.
Co-host Kate Bolduan said, “Last week, federal officers with DHS were seen going into your district office in New York. They handcuffed and detained one of your aides for a period of time.”
She asked, “What is your view of what happened?”
Nadler said, “Well, my view is what happened is outrageous. My first concern was for the safety of of my staff member, and I didn’t say anything. I decided to speak out after the DHS released their misleading, and and frankly, lying story about what happened.”
He added, “DHS was upset that some of my staff members were watching them grab an immigrants emerging from an immigration court in the same building, a floor of floor below. They were upset that my staff invited some of the observers up to my office. They then came up to the office and demanded entrance. One of my staff members said, you can’t come in here, you need a warrant. They said, no, we don’t need a warrant, which is incorrect. They barged in.”

The Fat’s in the Fire 🔥🔥🔥 now!!
Yes they do you fat obese blob of 💩.
Anyone that works for this stinky slob should be arrested for felony stupidity.
Classic Nadler Waddle.
A Congressman’s office in New York has no special priviledge in the law. In the District of Columbia, or on the way to and from, the Congressman has immunity. Staff, probably not.
But no more kings, right?
No one is above the law, fella...
Are Congressional offices public spaces, or private?
If it was a private space law enforcement would need a warrant to force their way in. If it’s a public space there is not that requirement.
So Mr Nadler, are you saying that your office space provided by the taxpayers is your own private property?
FWIW Google AI says ...
“Generally, police do not need a warrant if they observe a crime being committed in plain view or if they have probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. However, they still need probable cause to make an arrest or conduct a search.”
That agrees with my recollection.
“Government agencies don’t have rights. They do have powers given to them by the governed”
Someone on FR (might have been you) explained that to me years ago and I hope I never forget it.
“Representative Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said Monday on CNN’s “News Central” that officers with the Department of Homeland Security had no right to enter his congressional office and briefly detained a staff member.”
And I wonder if the DOGE folks have any right to examine any donations made to you by any PACs in exchange for you know what ... your support for the “THING” (as Biden would say).
The aide was the one who wiped his butt for him.
They found illegal donuts!
ICE is a police force just like any other law enforcement agency. They have a right to “barge” into Nadler’s office if a crime (within their mandate) is being committed. Or is Nadler saying that his staff could commit any crime (like murder, robbery or rape) in his office and the police would have to wait outside?
He certainly did not seem to think so when FBI agents invaded Trump’s home.
