People Are Asking When the Fiery but Mostly Peaceful Dems In This ICE Video Will Be Arrested – Twitchy

May 10, 2025

According to the Department of Homeland Security, the Delaney Hall Detention Center that a couple congressional Democrats and the mayor of Newark, New Jersey (the latter was arrested) entered without permission holds “murderers, rapists, suspected terrorists and gang members.” So naturally defending those people is at the top of the Left’s list of priorities these days.

A DHS statement says the Democrats’ claims about the center are false:

Today, as a bus of detainees was entering the security gate of Delaney Hall Detention Center, a group of protestors, including two members of the U.S. House of Representatives, stormed the gate and broke into the detention facility. Representatives Robert Menendez, Jr. and Bonnie Watson Coleman and multiple protestors are holed up in a guard shack, the first security check point.

“Members of Congress storming into a detention facility goes beyond a bizarre political stunt and puts the safety of our law enforcement agents and detainees at risk. Members of Congress are not above the law and cannot illegally break into detention facilities. Had these members requested a tour, we would have facilitated a tour of the facility. This is an evolving situation,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

The allegations made by Newark politicians that Delaney does not have the proper permitting are false. We have valid permits, and inspections for plumbing and electricity, and fire codes have been cleared.

Democrats, including Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Ro Khanna have come to the defense of those members of Congress and Mayor Baraka, claiming it was a peaceful protest.

NEW: DHS has provided @FoxNews ICE bodycam video from the altercation at the Delaney Hall detention facility yesterday. They say the video clearly shows @RepLaMonica (red clothing) shoving/elbowing her way past a DHS agent to get past the gate and into the property, followed… pic.twitter.com/GOAKm6U80W

A lot of people are asking a good question…

why hasn’t DHS arrested them yet? J6 Defendants who did nothing more than walk around got arrested. https://t.co/ghmtIZdFoX

They need to be charged as such.

I’m tired of of elected officials getting a way with things the average citizen would be in jail
for.

These are the same Dems who spent years telling us “no one is above the law.”

Two members of Congress need to be arrested for assault a federal law enforcement officer https://t.co/q25YTxMGs9

They definitely should be held accountable.

Wow – @RepLaMonica stormed a detention facility like a tyrant, then played victim when confronted.

This is disgusting abuse of power:

Ah yes, the very expected “do you know who I am” approach. They sure do seem to think they’re above the law.

All elected officials involved in the May 9 Insurrection must be banned from political office and spend 4 years in solitary.@AGPamBondi take action now!

“Shoving” and “elbowing” a federal agent. Just what some of the J6er were convicted of doing.

We’ve said it several times already today, but now it’s “D”ifferent.

We were reliably assured the Dems were peaceful. 🙄

How are the lefties liking those police body cams now?

I remember when the left had a change of heart about police body cams when they started to vindicate police officers.

Like here: https://t.co/hTdt4jtKsd

After years of the left insisting that mandatory body cams would finally expose pervasive police abuse of suspects, all it’s done is routinely provide irrefutable and objective proof that suspects are just guilty of crimes. https://t.co/qDglpRd84O

Can’t believe it, I was sure that McIver and Menendez were just innocently minding their own business when they were taken as political prisoners by the evil Trump regime

I had believed that politicians never lie, I’m being forced to reevaluate this position now https://t.co/1N4lct0MLl

Those Dems weren’t being truthful? We’re shocked!
