Lawmakers Clash with DHS at NJ ICE Facility | JQJO

Democratic lawmakers and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka clashed with DHS officers Friday while visiting a New Jersey ICE facility. The lawmakers, citing Congressional oversight authority, allege DHS officers wrongly accused them of illegally entering the facility after a tense standoff involving physical altercations. DHS claims the lawmakers "stormed" the facility and released videos showing physical interactions. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin suggested potential arrests of the lawmakers, citing bodycam footage of alleged assaults on officers. Baraka, not covered by the oversight law, was also detained.
