In a stunning rebuke of the violent actions by New Jersey Democrat lawmakers, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chief Kristi Noem declared that their assault on ICE agents at a Newark detention facility was not “oversight” but the commission of felonies. Speaking to Fox News host Jesse Watters, Noem condemned the Democrats’ behavior, stating, “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 shocking bodycam footage reveals Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver verbally abusing and physically attacking federal agents, shouting, “I touch whoever I want motherfcker!”* while another ICE agent was reportedly bodyslammed by a member of Congress. Despite this blatant lawlessness, the liberal media has largely ignored the story, refusing to hold these Democrats accountable for their violent assault on federal law enforcement.

Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney Alina Habba announced a federal investigation into the incident, vowing, “My office is undertaking a thorough investigation in coordination with our Federal Agency partners of what transpired on Friday at Delaney Hall… I do not take these matters lightly.” Yet, instead of condemning the attack, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries threatened retaliation against DHS agents if they dared to arrest the rogue Democrats. Jeffries ominously warned, “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.”

This brazen intimidation of federal law enforcement exposes the Democrats’ true agenda—protecting criminals while attacking those who uphold the law. Under President Trump’s strong leadership, law and order will prevail, and those who assault ICE agents will face justice, no matter their political status. The liberal media’s silence on this issue is yet another example of their hypocrisy, as they would have relentlessly demonized Republicans had the roles been reversed.
