[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON − The Department of Homeland Security is actively investigating Democratic lawmakers involved in a confrontation with officials at an ICE facility in New Jersey, spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin confirmed.

Three Democratic lawmakers from New Jersey − Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez − faced off against DHS guards on May 9 outside the Delaney Hall detention center shortly after the officers moved to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, according to CNN.

Baraka was allegedly trying to get inside the facility, but the mayor said later he was arrested after leaving.

Members of Congress, by law, can visit immigrant detention facilities unannounced. Watson Coleman, McIver and Menendez were not arrested, said Ned Cooper, a spokesperson for Watson Coleman. The three members of Congress had visited the facility unannounced.

It's all on tape dipshits. Good luck on getting a conviction. This is kabuki theatre to distract the MAGA morons.
