Is there anything more predictable than Democrats throwing a tantrum over President Trump’s border reforms? I mean, honestly – it’s like clockwork! Every time our administration takes a step toward actually enforcing immigration laws, the left acts like we’ve violated some sacred covenant. You almost have to wonder: Do they genuinely care about American citizens’ safety as much as they care about illegal aliens? The evidence suggests… not so much.

When was the last time you saw Democrats stage dramatic protests over the rampant crime affecting everyday Americans? When was the last time they “stormed” facilities to demand justice for victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants? Crickets. Yet let ICE do its job, and suddenly they’re breaking down doors.

Democrats Gone Wild: The ICE Facility Invasion

Speaking of breaking down doors, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and two Democratic members of Congress decided to pull off what might be the most ironic protest in recent memory. They were arrested Friday after “storming” the ICE Delaney Hall Detention Center in New Jersey.

What makes this especially rich is what Baraka said afterward: “We ask them to obey our laws, to obey the policies, the rules here, in the city and the state of New Jersey, not to run roughshod over the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, the 4th, 5th, the 14th Amendment, that everybody on this soil deserves due process.”

Yes, you read that correctly. The mayor was arrested for breaking the law while simultaneously lecturing others about “obeying laws.” You can’t make this stuff up!

The Department of Homeland Security noted that this little political theater “goes beyond a bizarre political stunt and puts the safety of our law enforcement agents and detainees at risk.” They apparently rushed in as a bus of detainees was entering the security gate – because nothing says “safety first” like charging a facility during a prisoner transport.

Homan Drops Truth Bomb on Clueless Mayor

Trump’s border czar Tom Homan didn’t mince words when responding to this spectacle.

From ‘Fox News’:

“Well look, he’s not very smart,” Homan reacted on Fox News. “The bottom line is, that is what this facility is all about. This facility is about due process. This facility is where we put illegal aliens … this is where due process happens. We have to detain them to go through the due process of, sometimes seeing a judge,” or other processes, like sending them back to their country.

Absolutely spot-on. These Democrats are literally breaking into a facility designed for due process… to demand due process. It’s like breaking into a hospital to demand medical care, or smashing a window at a soup kitchen to demand they feed the hungry.

Homan didn’t stop there. He explained that people don’t have to support ICE, but they “can’t cross that line of impediment.”

“You can’t cross that line of knowingly harboring, concealing illegal aliens, and you certainly can’t trespass in a facility that’s contracted by the U.S. government to house criminals,” he said. “That’d be like breaking into a prison, not going through the proper protocols. This creates a huge safety crisis.”

Political Theater: The Left’s New Campaign Strategy

Let’s not pretend this wasn’t a calculated political stunt. Baraka is currently campaigning to be New Jersey’s next governor in 2026. Nothing says “progressive credentials” these days like getting arrested while protesting immigration enforcement. This is the left completely losing its collective mind in real time.

Democratic New Jersey Reps. Rob Menendez, LaMonica McIver, and Bonnie Watson Coleman joined Baraka’s little field trip. According to DHS, Coleman and Menendez “stormed the gate” of the facility and “holed up” in a guard shack at the first security checkpoint. Very mature, representatives. Very mature.

As Homan correctly pointed out, “This is about politics” for those Democrats. “They simply don’t want these people removed from this country. They don’t want immigration enforcement in this country.”

And there you have it – the real agenda unmasked. It’s not about “due process.” It’s about preventing the Trump administration from enforcing immigration law, period. The Democrats have gone from reasonable opposition to completely unhinged resistance.

While Americans across the country worry about their safety, jobs, and communities impacted by illegal immigration, Democrats are literally breaking the law to protect those who broke immigration laws. Make it make sense.

Key Takeaways:

• Newark Mayor broke the law while demanding others “obey laws” – the perfect snapshot of how Democrats have lost all credibility on border security.
• Border Czar Homan exposed the absurdity by pointing out Democrats disrupted the very facility that provides the due process they claim to want.
• This political stunt by a mayoral candidate seeking higher office reveals the Democrats’ real agenda: preventing any enforcement of immigration law whatsoever.
