House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries blasted the Trump administration for threatening to arrest Democratic lawmakers.

It seems no one is above the law, except for Democrats?

Last week, three New Jersey Democrats and Newark’s mayor were detained while protesting an ICE facility.

Jeffries then threatened retaliation.

“They’ll find out. They’ll find out. It’s a red line,” and insisted they “know better than to go down that road.”

Who here thinks this words will come back to haunt him?

The Hill reports:

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday hammered the Trump administration for threatening to arrest Democratic members of Congress, saying such a move would constitute a clear case of executive overreach.

“It’s a red line,” Jeffries told reporters in the Capitol. “They know better than to go down that road.”

Three House Democrats from New Jersey faced off against law enforcement officials outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility last week in Newark, N.J., where they were attempting to inspect a migrant detention center. They were joined by Newark’s Democratic mayor, Ras Baraka, who was arrested on charges of trespassing — an allegation he denies.

After Baraka’s arrest, the three New Jersey Democrats — Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez and LaMonica McIver — were involved in a brief skirmish with ICE officials outside the facility. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has accused the lawmakers of assaulting the officers — “including body-slamming a female ICE officer,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN over the weekend.

The Democrats rejected the allegations, saying it was the officers — several of whom wore masks — who became physical with the lawmakers.

Still, McLaughlin said there will “likely” be more arrests in the incident, reiterating that targeting the lawmakers is “definitely on the table.”

WTF?! Hakeem Jeffries is now THREATENING members of DHS if they arrest Democrat members of Congress who ASSAULTED agents

“DHS better not touch our members. If they do, they’ll FIND OUT.”
