Earlier today, several Democratic members of Congress, outraged over the existence of an ICE detention center holding illegals, attempted to storm the facility alongside the town's mayor. The mayor, mistakenly believing local authority extended to federal facilities, was arrested after the group tried to breach the gates.

Oli London (@OliLondonTV) ~ Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey @AlinaHabba announces the arrest of the Mayor of Newark for trespassing in an ICE facility: “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
“The Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon. He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.”

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is now DEMANDING he be released. Settle down, Phil.

Uh oh ... did the governor of New Jersey issue a "strongly worded statement"???

Oh, boo-hoo!
American Seppuku (@usa_seppuku) ~ How was it unjust, Governor? The citizen in question clearly broke the law. And no one is above the law, I have it on good authority.

Oh, it was not unjust in any way, shape or form. Democrats just don't like it.
Geddy's Uncle (@red_barchetta2) ~ Moron.

What they really mean, is no Republican is above the law.

Drew Random on 𝕏 (@DrewMcD61214342) ~ You’re such a douche, you think the mayor is above the law and allowed to push his way into that facility? What a moron.
They truly only think laws are made for Republicans.
Paul A. Szypula (@Bubblebathgirl) ~ NJ Gov. Phil Murphy is demanding Mayor Baraka be released from prison even though Baraka was just arrested for breaking federal law.
Speaking of breaking federal law, @GovMurphy admitted to harboring an illegal above his garage.
Murphy even dared the Feds to get the illegal.

Democrats love to flout the law.
Talitha Koum (@raineybuck420) ~ If Dems didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.
To be clear, their standards are very low.
Mike Wezousky (@WezouskyMike) ~ I thought storming a federal facility was a threat to democracy, no?
Again, only when Conservatives do it. Democrats aren't required to follow the laws.
