Democratic members of Congress who were part of a scuffle with law enforcement officers at an ICE facility in New Jersey may face arrests, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Axios Saturday.
Why it matters: It would be a major escalation in the Trump administration’s arrests of politicians and other public servants, including the mayor of Newark and a judge in Milwaukee.
- DHS is accusing the House Democrats of assaulting law enforcement. The lawmakers say they were the ones who were assaulted.
- The lawmakers involved in the incident: Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), Rob Menendez (D-N.J.) and LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.).
Are these spineless democrats in the room with us now?
Are they whispering this into your ear?
While, in front of your eyes, in this article, actual democrats in the real world are showing the fuck up and getting arrested?

It seems intentionally obtuse to make this the entire conversation.
Rather than talking about how “these democrats need to be the ones in charge of the party”, every comment section is some variation of “spineless democrats will do nothing”… even when that doesn’t even make sense in the context of the article.
I mean, this is lemmy. So yes.
