New Dem Leadership on Newark, New Jersey ICE Detention Hall Incident
Today, New Democrat Coalition Leadership issued the following statement:
“The actions of the Trump administration in Newark this week are beyond reprehensible and wholly unacceptable. Our colleagues, Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez and LaMonica McIver — along with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka — were exercising their constitutional duty and within their first amendment rights of free speech calling out the gross injustices they are seeing firsthand at this unsanctioned ICE facility.
“Unprovoked violence, against anyone, including Members of Congress, cannot be tolerated and must be investigated fully.
“As members of Congress, we refuse to be silent, or be silenced, as the Trump Administration continues to defy the constitution, deny due process to all persons, and break the law again and again. We will stand united every step of the way to defend our country, our constituents, and the rule of law.”
