(The Blaze)—On May 9, three New Jersey Democratic House Representatives — Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez, and LaMonica McIver — along with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D) clashed with ICE agents at the Delaney Hall detention center in Newark during an unannounced oversight visit, protesting the facility’s reopening for migrant detention.
Never mind the fact that ICE acting Director Todd Lyons has told us that “75% of the 152 detainees at Delaney Hall have convictions or pending charges for serious crimes,” says Glenn Beck, calling the detention center a “common-sense” move. Democrats — even though they lost the election and even though the majority of Americans support the deportations of illegal immigrants — are going to die on this hill.
The incident in Newark isn’t an isolated event. Since January, we’ve witnessed legal injunctions, sanctuary policies, public protests, legislative protections, and advocacy for illegal immigrant rights. We’ve seen Democrat judges arrested and charged for helping illegal immigrants evade ICE. We’ve seen Democratic lawmakers and activists rally around alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, while pushing for broader protections for DACA recipients and mixed-status families to thwart the Trump administration from fulfilling the campaign promise of mass deportations.
And it’s not going to stop.
