Is no one really above the law? The real litmus test.

Nature abhors a vacuum, the saying goes. Of late, the democrat party has been in a vacuum, trying desperately to find something to justify its existence. The best they have come up recently is the to rush to aid and defend illegal alien murderers, rapists and child traffickers. Of and by itself it wasn’t attracting the kind of attention they’ve been desirous of, so they hatched a new plan to get it.

There are two ICE detention facilities in New Jersey, one in Elizabeth and one in Newark. The mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, decided he was going to storm the facility with some of his BFF’s. Unauthorized entry is a violation of the law. Despite multiple warnings, Baraka decided to force his way into the facility, and he was arrested. Alina Habba, New Jersey District USA:

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.

Baraka’s own political director admitted he violated the law:

Mayor @rasjbaraka  was arrested while peacefully entering the illegal ice detention center

Baraka’s arrest spurred a cacophonic flurry of outrage from leftist politicians, from Ro Khanna to NJ Governor Phil Murphy. Khanna’s response was particularly amusing:

The Trump @JDVance Administration has just arrested a mayor in Newark and shoved Members of Congress for protesting outside of an ICE facility. In America, you cannot arrest your political opponents.

Now is a good time to remember the democrat mantra for the last few years:

No one is above the law.

It gets better. A lot better.

Baraka was joined by three other NJ legislators: New Jersey democrat Congressional members, LaMonica McIver, Bonnie Watson and Rob Menendez.

Rob Menendez is the son of the recently convicted Bob Menendez.
Menedez and LaMonica decided to jump into the scrum.  Here’s where it gets good. LaMonica assaults Federal agents while the white Hispanic boy Rob Menendez pushes her from behind.
Here’s one view:

And here’s a time stamped video

Timestamp of Incident: The body camera footage is dated May 9, 2025, as indicated by the timestamp in the video frames. The specific incident involving Rep. LaMonica McIver occurs throughout the duration of the video, from 0.00 seconds to 48.40 seconds.

Observed Violations: – 0.00 seconds – 2.42 seconds: Rep. McIver is seen being physically restrained by law enforcement officers. Her struggle against their hold could be interpreted as resistance to lawful authority. – 2.42 seconds – 12.10 seconds: The struggle escalates, with Rep. McIver potentially pushing or shoving against the officers. This action may constitute an attempt to break free or an aggressive response. – 12.10 seconds – 24.20 seconds: There are clear instances of physical contact where Rep. McIver’s hands make contact with the officers. This could be construed as assault, especially if the contact is deemed intentional and harmful. – 24.20 seconds – 36.30 seconds: The physical interaction continues, with Rep. McIver’s actions appearing non-compliant or aggressive, potentially obstructing the officers’ duties. – 36.30 seconds – 48.40 seconds: The struggle persists, and Rep. McIver’s actions might be seen as further obstructing law enforcement efforts to maintain control.

Potential Charges: 1. Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer: If Rep. McIver’s physical contact with the officers is determined to be intentional and harmful, she could face charges of assault on a law enforcement officer. This is often classified as a felony, depending on the jurisdiction and the extent of the physical contact. 2. Obstruction of Justice: Her resistance and physical struggle could be seen as obstructing law enforcement in the performance of their duties. This charge typically involves interfering with or hindering the work of law enforcement officers. 3. Trespassing: Although not directly observable in the provided frames, context from news reports suggests that the group, including Rep. McIver, was attempting to enter a detention facility without authorization. If this is confirmed, she might also be liable for criminal trespassing. Legal and Political Context: – The body camera footage serves as critical evidence in assessing these potential violations. The political nature of the incident, involving a congressional representative, may influence the legal proceedings and public perception. – The call for Rep. McIver’s expulsion from Congress, as seen in social media reactions, underscores the severity of the perceived breach of conduct, especially in interactions with law enforcement.

This becomes a complex and murky issue.

Congress members do have a right to unannounced visits to ICE facilities, but city mayors do not. Then again, Congress members do not have the right to assault Federal LEO’s.

The democrat Congress members did get their tour and what did they find?

“People are okay. They’re safe. It’s clean. They’re feeding them. ICE is out of control.” – Rep Bonnie WATSON COLEMAN

No doubt to their bitter disappointment.

The mayor was most definitely inside the perimeter of the facility

He was properly arrested and here’s his mugshot

Baraka is a race baiting lunatic.

I do not believe there is coincidence in Baraka’s visit being accompanied by Congressional members. This was a staged event, meant to garner all the attention it has been getting. Crisis actors descended upon Newark and put on their best umbrage faces. They were daring the Feds to arrest them and X was rife with rumors that the Congress members were going to see it happen.

It’s what they want. A campaign issue. Then again, this ain’t the Biden regime and those campaigns might be conducted from a prison cell.

Justice in this case would be slamming Baraka and the three stooges with the same treatment accorded the Jan 6 protesters. Many non-violent trespassers were held without bail for a long time without a trial, heavy fines and years in prison. According to Grok:

Roughly 300 individuals were charged with assault-related offenses, with sentences between 4-12 years, even in cases without direct physical contact.

There is no reason to treat these Congress people any differently. As for the Mayor, let’s go to Grok again:
Of the approximately 1,500 defendants charged, over 1,000 faced misdemeanor trespassing or disorderly conduct charges, with about 80% pleading guilty. Sentences varied based on factors like prior criminal history or whether they entered the Capitol. Posts on X highlighted that some trespassers received 60–90 days in jail or home detention, especially if they expressed remorse.
This from Bill Shipley on X, who defended many Jan 6 protesters (re LaMonica McIver):
Absolutely 1000% this level of forceful contact would have resulted in a felony Sec. 111(a) charge in connection with Jan6 defendants. That is “assault” on a federal officer under the definition of “assault” used by the Biden DOJ. Convictions of hundreds of J6 defendants were based on nothing more than video evidence just like this. There is no question but that this must be charged. It could be “aggravated assault” in that it was committed with the intent to commit another crime — entry into the ICE facility. Depending on the facts, it is possible that is a separate felony. If so, she will be facing 3-5 years in federal prison. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. There is NO justification for not charging her.

I doubt we’re going to see any remorse.  What I do expect is to see this morph into one more racial issue, complete with the Al Sharpton circus. At its core it is a stage play looking for something to stir up sentiment. The fatal flaw remains, though. They fight vehemently for criminal illegal aliens and do nothing for American citizens.

But we shall see if anyone is above the law. This is the litmus test. The real thing.

He wasn’t charged and was released shortly after. None of the Congress critters were indicted and won’t be. Even if he were charged he would be quickly released by the first Federal Judge on the case.

Ity’s really absurd to even pretend anymore that the Rule of Law still exists in the U.S. It’s a two tier system just as in the UK. The peasants bear the full weight of the law. The nobility are exempt except when they embarass their party.
