Governor Noem blasts Democrats over New Jersey ICE facility breach

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem criticized three Democrats who had been confronted by immigration officers while they protested the opening of a new detention facility for immigrants in New Jersey.

Аt the hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee, Democrats claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials physically assaulted the lawmakers.

According to Noem, the Democrats, Garden State Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez and LaMonica McIver, were not conducting proper oversight.

Noem further claimed the private facility that contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement houses “rapists,” “murderers,” and members of “foreign terrorist organizations.” 

“What happened last Friday was we had members of Congress assaulting law enforcement officers,” Noem said of the chaotic scene in front of the Delaney Hall Detention Center.

“They were cooperating with criminals to create criminal acts,” she said during an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters, the New York Post reported. “This wasn’t oversight. This was committing felonies. This was going out and attacking people who stand up for the rule of law. And it was absolutely horrible.” 

Noem called for the House Democrats to be removed from their committees or censured.

This statement, however, triggered criticism as members of Congress are allowed to make unannounced visits to facilities. 

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned the administration of problems if any arrests take place.

The Democrats were accompanied by Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D). He was arrested on charges of trespassing.

According to DHS, the three lawmakers were outside the facility along with a group of protesters and pushed past security and entered the place when the gates opened for a ICE bus to be let in.

“What are they trying to do?” Noem questioned. “Release these people back into the country so that there could be more Laken Rileys? So there can be more Jocelyn Nungarays? I just don’t understand what their point is. They have completely lost their minds.”

Democrats blasted Noem and the Trump administration for harsh immigration enforcement, citing the wrongful deportation of Marylander Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a Salvadoran prison.
