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.).
Well the law is what is legal. If people break the law, they should be charged. This is hardly a new concept. You don’t think lawbreakers should be charged?
The law has no inherent moral value. It requires at the very least democratic legitimacy to do so, and even that is subject to conditions.
Absolutely. I’m not the one saying that the law isn’t always right - I’m saying the law is what determines what is legal/illegal.
No I don’t because if they were this country wouldn’t exist.
It is American to resist bullshit laws. The founding fathers made that clear so no you’re wrong now sit down and shut up
Ok so murder should be allowed? Break and enter is fine and dandy?
hahahaha fool
