In a stunning rebuke of the violent actions by New Jersey Democrat lawmakers, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chief Kristi Noem declared that their attack on ICE agents at a Newark detention facility was not “oversight” but outright criminal behavior. Speaking to Fox News host Jesse Watters, Noem stated, “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.” The damning remarks came after shocking bodycam footage showed Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver physically and verbally assaulting federal agents, shouting, “I touch whoever I want Mother-F*cker”*
The liberal media, ever eager to shield their far-left allies, has largely downplayed the incident, refusing to hold these lawmakers accountable for their blatant lawlessness. Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney Alina Habba announced a federal investigation into the altercation, vowing, “My office is undertaking a thorough investigation in coordination with our Federal Agency partners… I do not take these matters lightly.” Yet, where is the outrage from CNN, MSNBC, or The New York Times? Their silence speaks volumes about their hypocrisy—quick to condemn any conservative for even the slightest misstep but deafeningly quiet when Democrats commit actual felonies.

Adding fuel to the fire, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries openly threatened federal agents, warning, “They’ll find out. They’ll find out. They’ll find out. It’s a red line. They know better than to go down that road. There are clear lines that they dare not cross.” Such brazen intimidation of law enforcement would spark nationwide condemnation if it came from a Republican, but the left-wing press gives Jeffries a free pass.

President Donald Trump, a steadfast defender of law and order, has long warned about the left’s disdain for America’s border security and its enforcers. This incident proves him right yet again. While Democrats incite chaos and attack those who protect our nation, Trump stands firm in his commitment to uphold the rule of law. The contrast couldn’t be clearer: one side respects authority, while the other embraces anarchy.

ICE and law enforcement can touch stupid all full of themselves criminals whenever the need arises.
