Ocasio-Cortez took to Instagram after the Department of Homeland Security suggested they may pursue arrests of three Democratic lawmakers who partook in a protest outside of an ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey. Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Rob Menendez (D-NJ) and LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) all attended the protest.
Don’t forget people denying a member of Congress was caught on video commiting simple assault and obstruction of a federal law enforcement officer.

Federal simple assault
Obstruction
Nobody is above the law. There are procedures for oversight and bypassing those procedures are no different for a member of Congress than a typical citizen committing the same acts outside of the same position. Bypassing lawful procedure is not okay, regardless of political affiliation, and should not be tolerated.
LaMonica McIver is up for re-election in 2026.
Like how ICE is just straight up kidnapping citizens?
What citizens have they kidnapped?
How about a four year old with stage four cancer?
The mother who was deported took the child with her by choice. It is horrible that the child is sick but the claim of citizens are being kidnapped is misinformation. If citizens are being deported I have not seen an example of that but if you see an example please let me know.
Evidence?
I read about it in a news article. I think it was an interview with the head of ICE on Meet the Press.
Oh wow, so you have no source other than “maybe the head of ICE said it.”
I’m sure the mother wanted her child with stage 4 cancer to not have medicine or access to his doctor, that makes so much sense.

In the article the parents are talking about having to choose if they should leave their US citizen children here or take them with them.
Yes, there was an interview on Meet The Press where the head of ICE was pressed on this exact issue. Maybe you should go watch it.
And you just believe the news when you’re in fucking Nazi Germany?
There was no assault in the video; further, congress people have every right to enter and examine detention facilities and those ICE agents were illegally refusing them entry.
I get that just going “THAT’S ILLEGAL!!!” Is meaningless and quaint but it still needs to be pointed out when it happens.
Even if all of that were true. Does it matter? There is no inherent moral duty to follow the law.
Morality is subjective.
No. It’s objectively immoral to run a dictatorship. It’s objectively moral to resist it.
A dictatorship can be moral if it is benevolent. Resistance to such a government would be terrorism.
No such thing as a “benevolent dictatorship”.
How something be terrorism when it’s just not doing what some else wants you to do?
