When it comes to the topic of illegal immigration, congressional Democrats continue to stumble, as shown by their ongoing gestures of virtue signaling connected to the deportation and imprisonment of the purported MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Additionally, they recently attempted to storm a New Jersey ICE detention facility, which holds more criminal illegal immigrants, including those accused of child predation and murder.

As RedState’s Ward Clark documented earlier, three New Jersey House Democrats – Robert Menendez Jr, Bonnie Watson Coleman, and LaMonica McIver – all arrived at the Delaney Hall detention center in Newark Friday on grounds that they were performing “Congressional oversight.”

According to local reports, they, along with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D), were stopped at the first checkpoint after attempting to go beyond the gates. Baraka took it even further, trying to get in through a side entrance. Then things got quite chippy and chaotic between the Congressmembers, Baraka, and the federal authorities before Baraka was eventually arrested.
