NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW

The Democratic Party is so bereft of coherent ideas to oppose President Donald Trump that their most high-profile stunts consist of defending criminal illegal aliens and impeding law enforcement in the process.

On Friday, a Democratic mayor and his colleagues attempted to storm an ICE detention facility housing illegal aliens awaiting immigration hearings (you know, the due process the Democrats keep crying about).

Three members of Congress from New Jersey, Reps. LaMonica McIver, Bonnie Watson Coleman, and Rob Menendez, visited the facility to conduct “federal oversight” — which is allowed under the law — but things quickly spiraled out of control.

According to video and various news reports, it appears the congressmembers refused to wait for officers to permit them entry and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka — who does not have oversight authority as a local official — tried to join them for their tour. Protesters also contributed to the ensuing chaos, seemingly trying to get past law enforcement and enter the facility.

The Department of Homeland Security said Baraka ignored several orders to leave the area and was eventually arrested for trespassing, which is when the situation really escalated.

Video shows McIver, in a bright red blazer, repeatedly pushing her body into and shoving an officer.

“You better get your fucking officers,” McIver later yells at a female officer while wagging her finger in the officer’s face. “I touch whoever I want, motherfucker … I’m filing a complaint. You can’t talk to a congresswoman like that. And you put your hands on me? You will pay!”

McIver claims that she did not “body slam” anyone and blamed police for escalating the situation, insisting that she was the one who was assaulted.

The Democratic congressmembers reportedly received their tour of the detention facility and were even offered a soda after the ruckus. Baraka, however, was detained and is facing charges for his behavior. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said that there are “likely more arrests coming.”

In a separate incident in Worcester, Massachusetts, on Friday, District 5 City Councilor Etel Haxhiaj was accused of inciting aggression toward the police and assaulting local and federal officers as they attempted to arrest a criminal illegal alien. ICE officers were trying to arrest Ferreira de Oliveira, a woman who entered the country illegally in 2022 and has since been charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault on a pregnant woman.

Aside from the horrendous optics of Democrats effectively rioting on behalf of criminal illegals, party members are incredulous that their colleagues might be held accountable for their lawless behavior. Democratic Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz responded to the New Jersey incident, stating, “If this continues to happen, where members of Congress are going to be attacked, physically attacked by the administration, this is going to have reverberations on whether the House can function.”

This is the same political party, of course, that celebrated dubious fraud and insurrection-related charges against the president, declaring sanctimoniously that “no one is above the law.”

Declare that your opulent oceanfront resort in Palm Beach is obviously worth way more than $18 million? Straight to jail. Assault an officer carrying out an arrest order or trying to prevent criminal trespassing? We’re the real victims, actually.

Nevermind the woman who pursued that fraud case is now being investigated for her own alleged mortgage fraud. Attorney General Letitia James is accused of falsely claiming a Virginia home as her primary residence to secure better mortgage terms and allegedly listed a Brooklyn property as having four apartment units instead of five for insurance purposes.

Sorry, Democrats, but a new sheriff is in town. Your attempts to cosplay the tough-on-crime party (only when it comes to orange man, of course) are about to be blown out by a true law-and-order administration.
