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.).
The rabid Congresswoman that did the alleged assaulting:
Contrast with these softies got their asses handed to them
This checks out!
Now this is a SLAMming I can get behind. Get SLAMMED, idiots.
She body slammed one and threw the rest off the prison roof like when Undertaker threw Mankind off the cage in that Hell in the Cell match.

“God almighty! God almighty! As God as my witness, he is broken in half!”
Bah Gawd!
Honestly makes me miss ShittyMorph
Wait what happened to Shittymorph?
For the unaware, u/ShittyMorph was once a prolific redditor, who was a mainstay on the website, so much so he became the beta testers for tips on reddit. While haven’t been on reddit for years, I do fondly remember most of the interactions he had with people. I don’t think I’ll ever forget how he donated his kidney to someone who was there in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
That man had a family!
Fascists are the biggest cry bullies.
Assault includes things as simple as unwanted touching. Not all assault is body slamming someone. Spitting at someone is assault.
Battery. Assault is threatening, battery involves physical touch, no matter how light.
No, Assault includes threatening, but also can be actual physical touch no matter how light. Battery is more often used when there is physical touch, but Assault can be too and is still the correct term.
Yes however someone said there was body slamming. Still waiting for the footage
By the politicians? I’d love to see that so hopefully if it exists it comes out haha
My point however was that the “rabid congresswoman” absolutely could have assaulted the police.
But sure, she could have by strictest definition. No disagreement. Cops could have stayed on their side of the fence too though, never allowing Grams to body slam.
She’ll get around to it once she finishes finals week
Glad we agree that little ol’ Grams is capable of assault.
You’re missing the fucking point. Nobody is disputing that there might have been assault. Congratulations on winning an argument that you were having with your imagination
I swear, some people are such a stickler for the rules. UM TECHNICSHUALLY A FINGER TAP COULDVE BEEN ASSAULT. Missing that the point is basically to call the cops a bunch of pussies for even thinking of pressing charges against an old woman, who wouldn’t have been able to actually do any damage to them. Like bro, are you gonna press charges against a baby for kicking you in the hands while you’re changing their diapers? No, you’re not.
