Democrats are furious after Trump’s Department of Homeland Security agents arrested the Newark Mayor in a shocking confrontation.
The Biden-Harris cronies in Congress claim they were just doing their jobs when all hell broke loose at a migrant detention center.
And video evidence has Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver red with rage after she heard the jaw-dropping accusation that she “body-slammed” a federal agent during the chaotic scene.
McIver couldn’t believe her ears when CNN’s Dana Bash confronted her with the bombshell allegation from Trump’s DHS that she physically attacked an ICE officer during Friday’s heated incident.

“Absolutely no. I mean, I honestly do not know how to body slam anyone,” McIver fired back during her Sunday CNN appearance, clearly stunned by the outrageous claim.
The liberal New Jersey congresswoman was with a group of Democrat politicians attempting to push their way into a detention facility when they got more than they bargained for.
Federal agents not only blocked their entry but took the extraordinary step of slapping handcuffs on Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, a scene that left Democrats shell-shocked.
McIver desperately tried to defend herself against the damning accusations, insisting there’s “no video that supports me body-slamming anyone” while scrambling to shift blame.
“We were simply there to do our job, there for an oversight visit,” McIver claimed, mentioning that fellow Democrat Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman was also present during the incident.
The left-wing politician was visibly rattled as she tried to explain away the explosive confrontation that ended with the city’s top Democrat official in custody.
“They created that confrontation. They created that chaos and then ultimately went to arrest the mayor of the largest city of New Jersey, who is my mayor and my constituent,” McIver sputtered.
The arrest sent shockwaves through Democrat circles, with many calling it an unprecedented abuse of power by the Trump administration.
McIver looked like she might burst into tears as she recounted the moment her political ally was taken away by federal officers.
“It was very difficult to watch that happen,” she admitted, while still claiming that Democrats have the right to barge into federal facilities whenever they please.
Trump’s DHS officials didn’t mince words in their response, stating that the Democrat politicians were trespassing and became combative when asked to leave.
This high-stakes showdown is just the latest battle between President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration and radical Democrats who seem more concerned with the comfort of illegal aliens than the safety of American citizens.
Both McIver and Watson Coleman are now desperately calling for the release of all body camera footage, hoping it might contradict the damning accusations against them.
“We don’t have all of the bodycam and we hope that all of the bodycam is released,” McIver pleaded during her CNN interview.
Rep. LaMonica McIver says she doesn’t “know how to bodyslam anyone,” but doesn’t deny shoving or elbowing an ICE officer, as captured on video.
She claims Democrats were “simply there to do our job” and blames ICE for creating a “confrontation.”

The incident perfectly illustrates the stark differences between the Trump administration’s America First approach to border security and Democrats’ open-borders agenda that has encouraged millions of illegal aliens to flood into our country.
Trump officials have consistently maintained that strict enforcement is the only way to stem the tide of illegal immigration that has overwhelmed border communities.
Meanwhile, radical Democrats like McIver and Watson Coleman continue their crusade to undermine immigration authorities at every turn.
Legal experts aligned with Trump note that no elected official has the right to interfere with federal law enforcement operations, regardless of their political position.
Newark’s Democrat-controlled city council has predictably erupted in outrage over their mayor’s arrest, scheduling emergency meetings and threatening legal action.
The Justice Department under Trump has yet to announce whether charges will be filed against the Democrat officials for their apparent interference with federal agents.
This incident is a perfect example of how Democrats think the rules don’t apply to them – but under President Trump, those days appear to be over.
