Across the country, a new defense is being heard in state and federal courtrooms. From Democratic members of Congress to judges to city council members, officials claim that their duties include obstructing the official functions of the federal government.
It is a type of liberal license that excuses almost any crime in the name of combating what Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called the “modern-day Gestapo” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The latest claimant of this license is Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), who was charged with assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers during a protest at Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.
McIver is shown on video forcing her way into the facility and striking and shoving agents in her path.
Prepare for more surprises of the same kind, Democrats.
Your “no one is above the law” whining is bearing fruit, just not from the tree you expected.
Taking to the streets to burn, loot, injure and kill isn’t going to be ignored any longer. Pushy elected officials engaging in it, romanticizing it, encouraging it or telling false tales about it will not be excepted from the justice necessary to preserve and protect the republic and its people.
