The trio of House Democrats in New Jersey, where immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) visits to detention centers (ICE) visits to detention centers have been removed from the railroad and federal agents may face arrests, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Lawmakers Ramonica McQuiver, Bonnie Watson Coleman and Robert Menendez allegedly attacked the Delaney Hall Detention Center. Authorities claimed that the ice agent was assaulted in a confrontation and were caught on camera.
“If that's a typical US citizen and they tried to plunge into a detention facility that houses dangerous criminals and everyone, they'd be arrested,” DHS Deputy Chief Tricia McLaughlin told “Fox News Live” host Kevin Corke Saturday. “It doesn't mean you're beyond the law simply because you're a member of Congress or because you're a civil servant.”
Mayor Newark has been arrested for assaulting a New Jersey ice prison for members of Dem Council to make a “surveillance visit.”
“If you attack a law enforcement officer, we will make sure you answer justice,” she continued. “So I think the arrests are still on the table for this. This is an ongoing investigation.”
DHS reportedly has body camera footage of Congress members attacking ice officers “including body slamming female ice officers.”
A group of protesters, including lawmakers, attacked the facility as buses detained were in the security gates, according to a news release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Following the incident, McQuiber wrote in X's post that Ice had “pushed” her and “Manhandled” Watson Coleman.

At a press conference, McQuiver escalated her claim, saying, “She was attacked by multiple ice officers, but the ice area director is watching it happen.”
DHS footage posted on X on Saturday appears to show unprovoked McIver barrels through law enforcement agencies near the gate.
“Watch: U.S. Rep. Lamonica McQuiber (woman wearing a red blazer) will attack the gates of Delaney Hall Detention Center attacking Ice Agents,” DHS captioned the video.
DHS officials have yet to confirm pending charges against those accused of raiding the facility.

Watson Coleman “shov (ing)” denounced her ice agent, writing in X's post that she, McQuiver and Menendez visited the facility on Friday and “execute the watchdog as members of Congress.”

DHS officials confirmed that those detained in the contested facilities included “murderers, terrorists, child rapists and members of the MS-13 gang.”
“Contrary to the press conference issued by the DHS, we did not 'raid' the detention center,” Coleman wrote. “The author of that press release did not even correctly count the number of representatives present because he was unfamiliar with terrestrial facts.”
Baraka was handcuffed and detained for five hours and was formally charged with trespassing at the facility.
“They did this on trespassing charges, a local government charge that is usually handled by tickets,” Baraka's lawyer wrote in a statement provided to Fox News. “His subsequent court release shows that this well-known and widely respected civil servant had no reason to believe it was a flight risk or risk to the communities he served.”

Baraka's lawyers argued that the mayor was exercising his First Amendment rights and “acted with gentle, restraint and dignity in a way that followed the law.”

They also accused U.S. lawyers in the New Jersey area of Alina Haba, the district of “repetitive” and “inaccurate, inflammatory, unfair” public statements.
In a post on X on Friday, Newark Mayor Las Baraka committed a trespassing and ignored multiple warnings from the Homeland Security Investigation and ignored the removal of himself from the Ice Detention Center in New Jersey this afternoon. He was willing to ignore the law.

Baraka's lawyers apparently accused Haba of “a false horse (king) public statement accusing the mayor of violating the “rule of law”” and “claiming that he is guilty of trespassing the crime of trespassing filed against him.”
