DHS Chief Kristi Noem Hints At ARRESTS For Congress Members Who Assaulted ICE Agents

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem just hinted at possible charges for two New Jersey Democrat lawmakers.

On Friday, two members of Congress violently attacked ICE agents during an altercation outside the gates of the recently-opened Delaney Detention Center in Newark, NJ.

Now, Kristi Noem has confirmed that they were “committing felonies” by “assaulting law enforcement officers.”

Watch what she had to say here:

Noem: We had members of congress assaulting law enforcement officers. They were cooperating with criminals to create criminal acts and then they are saying that they were providing oversight. This wasn't oversight, this was committing felonies pic.twitter.com/hPBS7FYpr5

In case you haven’t seen it, here’s the bodycam footage of Democrat Reps. McIver and Menendez assaulting law enforcement officers:

And, here’s a version in slow motion:

Here’s the assault by representatives McIver and Menendez slowed down and looped.

What more does @SpeakerJohnson and/or a judge need to see than this?

Arrest the two representatives. They need to resign from Congress. https://t.co/rhlqZaubH7 pic.twitter.com/SQBTUniD4T

That certainly looks like assault of a federal officer to me.

If prosecuted, as Noem is hinting, these members of Congress could face several years in prison and a fine up to $250,000!

Grok says:

Assaulting a federal officer, such as an ICE agent, is a federal crime with penalties based on the severity of the assault:

• Simple Assault: No physical contact or injury required (e.g., threatening or attempting to strike the agent). Punishable by up to 1 year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
• Assault with Physical Contact or Intent to Commit a Felony: Involves physical contact or intent to commit another felony (e.g., resisting arrest with force). Punishable by up to 8 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000

It’s time to see some arrests…

No one is above the law is rapidly becoming the motto of today’s age.

If lawmakers are attacking law enforcement, they should be held accountable. No excuses for committing felonies!
