After the mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Ras Baraka, was arrested Friday for protesting outside of a new immigration detention facility, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official is threatening to arrest three more elected officials who were present.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Baraka, who is running for governor, on Friday after he and three Democratic members of Congress from New Jersey—Rep. Robert Menendez, Rep. LaMonica McIver, and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman—sought to enter the facility, called Delaney Hall. The officials said they were conducting an “oversight visit” at the detention center, alleging that city officials and fire inspectors had previously been denied entry. Federal law states that members and employees of Congress have the right to enter ICE facilities for oversight visits and that they do not have to provide advanced notice in order to do so. Videos from the scene show Menendez, McIver and Watson Coleman asking guards to let them in and seemingly being denied.

I really think people like Biden are stuck in some time period where maybe Republicans could be trusted with some backdoor agreement. That time, if it ever existed, is dead and gone.

Republicans know they have the undying support of at least 35% of the voting population due to propaganda and stubbornness. They have no incentive whatsoever to go forward with whatever bullshit promises they make with a Democrat behind closed doors yet our "representatives" keep throwing Republicans bones thinking they'll come back and help us in turn.

Newt Gingrich got his politics entrenched in the GOP: My way, or go fuck yourself.
