Just a day after the shocking arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for allegedly trespassing at an ICE facility, the Department of Homeland Security has confirmed it may arrest Democratic members of Congress involved in a confrontation with law enforcement at another New Jersey ICE site.
I heard someone say one time that Americans are hard to govern. That is exactly right. We are ready to fight if that is what they are pushing for. This is not warranted.
The Constitution only safeguards us if we have those who stand up for it. Unless members of Congress (GOP members) don't wake up and grow some balls we are doomed to another Hitler-like regime.
A classic Trump move. Make some (highly unlikely) claim, say you've got proof, then stall with promises to deliver it... until you've started another fire that steals everyone's attention from this one.
(And never supply the proof, since--you guessed it!--there was none to begin with.)
Who's the beast and when is enough gonna be enough? Cause I honestly do not understand how the CIA or military has not yet arrested dump and his entire corrupt administration yet.
We all know without doubt had this been Obama, Biden, Bush, ANYONE, they would already be in jail.
I completely agree. I keep hearing members of congress, the house, and the senate acknowledge that this admin is breaking the law left and right. I don’t understand why they won’t take action on it? Sure Trump has “immunity” which is RIDICULOUS, but the rest of them don’t. Who cares if Trump will just pardon them, arrest them anyway!
That's what I want to know too. People are already protesting and resisting in other ways. Where are those much-lauded "good guys with guns"? Where are they? Aren't they the ones who keep saying they are there to protect us from a dictatorship? Well - here we are! The dictatorship is HERE. It's arrived! Where is everyone?
The whole reason Congress is in place is to keep the president in check if he gets out of control. Well - he IS out of control. Why are they not doing their jobs?
The Secret Service, CIA, FBI, all the other various acronyms - haven't they sworn to uphold the law and protect the Constitution? Or are they only good for TV shows?
I am concerned that one of these days the ICE idiots will break into the wrong house with someone trigger-happy inside. And somebody will open fire and do something else stupid. And, in addition to unlawful arrests and detentions we'll have bloodshed and martial law on our hands.
I think the Supreme Court can step in and take away his Immunity. The GOP could impeach him. We need to find a way to make them more afraid of us than they are of Trump. Part of the goal is to stall as long as possible until the midterms and work like hell to take back Congress.
Exactly and that's what I am trying to understand. WHY isn't the GOP impeaching him? There are more of them than there are of him - what are they scared of? They know if they turned on Trump they will have full backing from the Democrats. So what's the problem? We have ordinary citizens, independent journalists who don't have security details and fancy lawyers, with no power and no money, but we keep fighting. The lawmakers have SO much more at their disposal - what are they waiting for?
This we shall defend and this they shall destroy. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the GOP. It’s not Trump alone, it’s them all.
Can we begin laying blame at ALL of the GOP, not just Trump? We should be calling them out as a single entity and force every member of the GOP to defend all of it.
Your absolutely right. They all have a part and we need to start calling it as such. All that's happening they are just as guilty and lies on their hands as well.
When is congress going to realize that the administration and the people appointed are a danger to the constitution and the people of this country. Stuff like this needs to stop and they need to step in. Even Republicans have to understand that they are not safe and sheep. Their oath is to protect the constitution. Can someone please do something.
The law (legal system) is so incredibly slow and right now America needs quick reaction time in order to keep up with the dumb 💩 this administration keeps doing.
Even if they showed a video how would we know it was an ice agent since they all wear black street clothes now and don't carry badges or identification?
Everyone complicit in the Fascist movement will be tried in the International Criminal Court, just like the Nazis after WWII. Brownshirts (ICE) take note.
They’re trying to shut everyone up so people don’t know what they’re really doing. The First Amendment shall not be taken away from them or from us.
We aren’t hard to govern. We won’t be controlled. That’s the issue.
I heard someone say one time that Americans are hard to govern. That is exactly right. We are ready to fight if that is what they are pushing for. This is not warranted.
That is what I am afraid of too. We are already doing all the peaceful things we can do. Now when do we go further? What is the tipping point?

Trump wants his dictatorship NOW!
Can they arrest Trump instead?
I WISH!!
Seriously... Now is good.
The entire administration.
People need to wake up and see. This war on democracy.
It starts with them, let’s get them.
The “cartels”, “gangs”, “hordes at the border aiming to rape and pillage”,
Us or them.
Us vs scary them. Evil them. Those people. Then that groups of people. Then Any person.
No they cannot thanks to the Roberts Court.
They gave him absolute immunity while in office.

Stone said the punishment for treason is death. This isn’t true there are quite a few punishments available when committing treason.
Use Cornell Law it is the best site to use for deciphering Title 18 Crimes.
Fear is the goal!!!
GET THIS ADMINISTRATION OUT OF HERE. Like go buy an island and populate it with your stupid followers and be a dictator there.
Epstein's island may be for sale. Could probably get it for a bargain. 🏝🏖
I’ll chip in for the the go fund me!
I would too!
Great idea
Release the footage then
They don’t have any or it would have been plastered everywhere.
Right! Make them prove it. They can “say” they have anything they want.

We need to continue to make good trouble. White women need to be a barrier. I wonder what % we are at currently.
Despite knowing this was coming it’s still a terrifying escalation.
They plan to break more federal laws.
because breaking laws is what criminals do
Every one of these stories sort of scares me even less because they are going to overplay their hand and wake the beast.
Who's the beast and when is enough gonna be enough? Cause I honestly do not understand how the CIA or military has not yet arrested dump and his entire corrupt administration yet.

Who is going to do the arresting? Trump controls all of the enforcement agencies: DOJ, Intelligence, FBI, and Military.
Well, don’t forget that there have been hundreds of lawsuits filed. It’s taking a long time so to most people it feels like an eternity.

what if you realize there is no beast?
The beast is awake and planning its next targets.
Jesus will prevail.
Jesus could use some help.

I can’t believe this is real life here in America.
When is congress going to realize that the administration and the people appointed are a danger to the constitution and the people of this country.

That’s what the GOP and tRump are counting on!
They've arrested, judges, mayors, now members of congress and independent journalists. The US has fallen
This is disgusting, more like Nazi Germany everyday. Smfh. Release the footage, prove it, I believe the dems over ICE and repugnicans any day!
Everything was on video from different angles. So they better have footage of the “Congressman” body slamming the so called, agent.
Even if they showed a video how would we know it was an ice agent since they all wear black street clothes now and don't carry badges or identification?
They’ve got nothing of substance on their side. They are scared and resorting to breaking the law by consistently violating everyone’s civil rights.
Everyone complicit in the Fascist movement will be tried in the International Criminal Court, just like the Nazis after WWII. Brownshirts (ICE) take note.
