The #TrumpGestapo hardly wants the opposition poking their noses into their sadistic chambers of horror. You can almost see them drooling at the thought of taking their critics down the black hole, to never be seen again:
"McIver said that the charges against her are 'purely political' and 'mischaracterize and distort my actions and are meant to criminalize and deter legislative oversight.'"

Democratic Rep. McIver charged with assault after skirmish at ICE center, New Jersey prosecutor says
Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver is being charged with assault after a skirmish with federal officers outside an immigration detention center, said New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor, who also announced Monday that she was dropping a trespassing case against the Newark mayor whose arrest led to the disturbance.
Federal prosecutors have charged a member of Congress with assault after federal agents assaulted her and her colleagues. This is absolutely dystopian-level! If they can come after Congress and the Judiciary, why would you think a regular person stands a chance against this? Hopefully voters in Rep. McIver’s district protest this corrupt prosecution by AG Pam Bondi. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/nyregion/new-jersey-congress-ice-charges.html #uspol #ice
This whole thing is ridiculous. #DOJ is saying that after the congresswoman assaulted #ICE agents they then gave them a tour?
And why did it take 10 days for them to decide that Rep #LaMonicaMcIver had assaulted federal agents?
Oh right, because #KristiNoem started lying about it on TV. Got it.
In Feb, #ICE entered into a $1B contract w/ #GEOGroup, one of the country’s largest #PrivatePrison companies, to convert the building into a detention center. But Mayor #RasBaraka, who is running for governor of #NJ, galvanized opposition against the detention center, arguing that it had opened w/o the proper permits or inspections.
The controversy engulfing the facility drew the attention of the NJ lawmakers, who visited the facility on May 9 to inspect conditions.
#Republicans have seized on the episode to portray #Democrats as more interested in protecting the #immigrants w/criminal records they said are being held inside the facility than US citizens.
On TV & social media, DHS ofcls have for days accused the lawmakers of “storming” into the facility, suggesting last week that assault charges were looming. The agency shared a video on X that it says shows Rep. McIver assaulting an #ICE agent.
…Paul J. Fishman, a lawyer for Rep. McIver, who previously served as #USattorney for the District of #NJ called the decision to charge the congresswoman “spectacularly inappropriate.”
“As a member of #Congress, she has the right & responsibility to see how #ICE is treating detainees. Rather than facilitating that inspection, ICE agents chose to escalate what should have been a peaceful situation into chaos.”
“No one is above the law—politicians or otherwise,”[except #Trump] #AlinaHabba said in a statement. “It is the job of this office to uphold *justice* *impartially*, regardless of who you are. Now we will let the justice system work.”
In a statement on Monday, Rep #LaMonicaMcIver blamed federal law enforcement for instigating the clash, saying that “#ICE agents created an unnecessary & unsafe confrontation.”

Freed from #ICE custody, Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi graduates from Columbia to cheers

"NEW YORK (#AP) — Less than three weeks after his release from an immigration jail, the #Palestinian activist #MohsenMahdawi strode across the graduation stage at #ColumbiaUniversity on Monday morning, savoring a moment the #Trump administration had fought to make impossible.
Draped in a keffiyeh, Mahdawi, 34, paused to listen to the swell of cheers from his fellow graduates. Then he joined a vigil just outside #Columbia’s gates, raising a photograph of his classmate Mahmoud Khalil, who remains in federal custody."

A travesty of justice.
"None of this had to happen. We arrived at Delaney Hall to do our jobs—period. Instead of facilitating congressional oversight, as they are obligated to do, ICE created chaos."
