Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said arresting Democratic lawmakers, who were conducting an oversight visit at an immigration detention facility in New Jersey on Friday, “is definitely on the table.”
“There were multiple people arrested. And, Victor, I think that we should let viewers know there will likely be more arrests coming,” McLaughlin told CNN’s Victor Blackwell on Saturday’s episode of “First Of All.”Among those who were arrested protesting the reopening of Delaney Hall, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Newark, was Mayor Ras Baraka. New Jersey’s interim U.S. Attorney and counselor to President Donald Trump Alina Habba said Baraka “ignored multiple warnings” from DHS officials.
The Mayor was released later that day and told CNN’s “The Source” “Not a single person, not an officer from ICE, not any of the security guards, nobody told me to leave that place.”
“Somebody from Homeland Security came in the end and began to escalate the situation, and we wound up being where we are today,” Baraka said.
Eventually disagreement, protest and investigation by non-Republican sources will be cause for imprisonment, or possible rendition..
