Federal police handcuffed Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez for refusing to leave an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Chicago on Monday.
Gutierrez was there to attend a meeting between ICE officials and immigration activists, lawyers, community leaders, and elected officials. When the Illinois representative did not get the answers he wanted, however, he decided to stay.
“They were asking about specific cases and about the general conduct of ICE and deportations,” said Doug Rivlin, Gutierrez's director of communications, The Hill reports.
“The congressman has decided that he did not get the answers he was looking for from the ICE regional director and he’s going to be staying inside until he gets answers, even if that means risking arrest,” said Rivlin, according to NBC.
He was not handcuffed for long and it was unclear at the time whether he would be formally arrested over his protest.

Deport him to Northern Iraq
He is here illegally, please deport him to his home in Assholonia.
There is something wrong with the Dem party, other than that they are radical.
It is like half , or more are totally nuts ,. who cannot understand rules or laws..
It is like dealing with little children who have had their own way.
Deport him to Hell.
Put that sorry bastard in jail!! He is OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE!! and aiding and abetting illegal aliens!!
Luis should be careful what he wishes...where he goes.
That ICE office has a reputation to be very corrupt with bribes, extortion, etc. Illinois style. Those corrupt civil servants are loyal supporters and donors to the various local ward organizations. If Luis pi$$es them off, they will run a Mexican against that Puerto Rican and there are more Mexican than PR votes in that district, not to mention the non-Hispanics.
What if Trump’s new US District Attorney and FBI decide to investigate the corruption in that ICE office? Then the machine could get really pi$$ed at Luis for drawing attention to the situation.
Anyone ever see this chollo and Cheech Marin at the same time??
Bump!
Weird that they're using handcuffs that they have to cut off.
They seriously believe that they are hiding Anne Frank and helping on the Underground Railroad
They’re like plastic ties.
Here is what I cannot figure out...
Why is the Dem party so interested in protecting and helping people who are here illegally and invaded the country above those of us who are citizens or here legally and followed the process?
It just defies logic. What is their motivation?
Publicity stunt. Just like when some of the CBC get “arrested”. Pure theatre.
Probably plastic cuffs - zip ties
Agreed, he’s been aiding and abetting illegals for years.
“The congressman has decided that he did not get the answers he was looking for from the ICE regional director and he’s going to be staying inside until he gets answers, even if that means risking arrest,” said Rivlin, according to NBC.

Indeed, but also to add. Why bring people in a country which you do not kn ow who they are, and could want to kill you.
It is bizarre .
