Just when you thought that the Democrats’ weird defense of illegal alien gang members, murderers and rapists couldn’t get any more bizarre, something new comes along. On Friday, it was a group of New Jersey politicians arriving at Delaney Hall, a New Jersey facility housing the worst of the worst – illegal aliens who are gang members, killers, child abusers and rapists – and demanding to be allowed in to the facility to “exercise oversight.”
Reps. Rob Menendez Jr., Bonnie Watson Coleman and LaMonica McIver, all New Jersey Democrats, entered ICE’s Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark and were held up inside the first checkpoint, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News.
“These members of Congress storming into a detention facility goes beyond bizarre political stunt and puts the safety of our law enforcement agents and the detainees at risk,” a DHS statement to Fox News said. “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.”
Here’s the fun bit:
The prison currently holds alleged killers, MS-13 gang members, child rapists, among other criminal offenders.
The lawmakers were outside the facility with a group of protesters when the gates opened to allow an ICE bus in. The lawmakers then rushed through the gates and past security, DHS said.
Newark’s Mayor Ras Baraka was there as well, and he was even more egregious; he tried to make his way inside and ignored the warning from ICE officials to leave. He fooled around, and he found out.
The Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon. He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this…

The X post concludes:
That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
Here, watch one of the most satisfying videos you’ll see this week:

Consider the implications of the actions of these jackwagons. They are, like many Democrats across the fruited plain, literally defending killers, gangsters and rapists. The Trump administration is trying to get these goblins out of the country. These three Democrats are trying to keep them. President Trump is trying to prevent another Laken Riley, another Jocelyn Nungaray, another Rachel Morin; the Democrats are trying to keep the very goblins who would present us with a string of attacks just like those.
Is this really the hill they want to die on?

Watch the behavior of these elected officials; the people of New Jersey should be embarrassed and ashamed to have put these people into office.

This isn’t oversight. This is trespassing, and this is arguably an assault on federal officials. LeMonica McIver has broken the law, right there on video.
The Newark Mayor isn’t the only one who should have been led away from this thing in handcuffs.
Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left’s lies, new legislation wasn’t needed to secure our border, just a new president.
