Insurrectionists Force Their Way Into ICE Detention Facility

Hang 'em high.

Fox News's video report is here.

Two NJ members of Congress, Bonnie Watson Coleman and Bob Menendez, Jr., as well as the mayor Newark broke into an ICE facility in order to disrupt their operations and obstruct justice.

They're now crying that they were forcibly removed.

Here's how Regime media is reporting the insurrection: See, they forced their way into a law enforcement facility they had no right to be present in to "exercise oversight authority."

Today, following an inspection of the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey with Reps. LaMonica McIver and Robert Menendez, Jr., Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman released the following statement:

"At around 1pm today, my colleagues Rep. Lamonica McIver and Rep. Rob Menendez, Jr. and I arrived at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark to exercise our oversight authority as Members of Congress.

"Contrary to a press statement put out by DHS we did not "storm" the detention center. The author of that press release was so unfamiliar with the facts on the ground that they didn't even correctly count the number of Representatives present. We were exercising our legal oversight function as we have done at the Elizabeth Detention Center without incident.

"Reopening Delaney Hall won't make us safer and it won't create an immigration system that is fair and secure for all families.

"Private Prison companies like GEO Group create a perverse incentive to increase incarceration to increase corporate profits. It's no accident that GEO Group was the first corporation to max out donations to Trump's Super PAC, to the tune of $500,000 dollars. And they're being rewarded with huge contracts to imprison immigrants like we're seeing here at Delaney.

"New Jerseyans don't want more private prisons just to increase shareholder income at the expense of taxpayers. They want a fair and secure immigration system that reflects our values and respects our Constitution."

That is, of course, not how this works.

Either we prosecute them, or we just give up. We either maintain that the law applies to the left, and they do not get to violate it or start riots every fucking time their fucked-up mentally-ill brains get into a tizzy, or we just give up to them now.

Either we stand firm on the point that the law binds them, or we bend to their assertion that they are so morally pure they are free from following the law.

In which case, they have have won the revolution and the civil war without firing a shot. Or, at least, not many shots.

See the woman in the red jacket in that video?

That's Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver.

She broke into a New Jersey ICE facility and assaulted multiple law enforcement officers--violating federal law under 18 U.S. Code sec. 111.

Expel her from Congress. Lock her up.
