According to what we\u2019ve heard, many Democrats claim that they are merely carrying out oversight, specifically congressional oversight,\u201d McLaughlin stated on \u201cThe Bottom Line.\u201d In response to the news that Ras Baraka, the Democratic mayor of Newark, New Jersey, had been arrested by federal authorities, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shared a video selfie on Instagram on Sunday. After a heated altercation with ICE officers outside an immigration facility after he was refused entry, Baraka was taken into custody.<\/p>\n<p>Baraka was arrested after he \u201ccommitted trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center,\u201d according to U.S. Attorney Alina Habba for the District of New Jersey. Later, DHS officials recounted a tumultuous scene in which Baraka joined riot starters who were trying to \u201cstorm\u201d the facility\u2019s gates, resulting in a physical altercation. Democratic Representatives LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), and Rob Menendez Jr. (D-NJ) were also on the scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are aware that\u2019s nonsense because we would have gladly provided them with a tour if they had asked us, David,\u201d McLaughlin remarked. We have provided the public with guidelines, one of which is that if they would like a tour of the facility, they must give us at least 24 hours\u2019 notice. Therefore, once more, this is all political scheming, and our law enforcement officers\u2019 safety is not at stake.<\/p>\n<p>Coleman later claimed that the lawmakers were \u201cescorted\u201d in after being present to \u201cexercise their oversight authority.\u201d However, the Daily Caller noted that in her video, AOC threatened to \u201cproblematize\u201d ICE and DHS agents if they \u201clay a finger\u201d on \u201cColeman or any of the representatives.\u201d \u201cThere will be an issue if you touch Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the other representatives present.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The immigration agency made bodycam footage of a heated exchange between the two parties public a day after Baraka was arrested. ICE charged McIver with \u201cassaulting an ICE agent\u201d in a statement. The detainees are suspected or convicted of serious crimes, such as \u201crapists, child predators, MS-13 gang members, and even suspected terrorists,\u201d McLaughlin added, defending the practice of housing illegal immigrants at the Delaney Hall facility.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman threatened to arrest \u201cSquad\u201d Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) if she carries out her most recent anti-Trump pledge.
