U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is being accused of making a veiled threat against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities and agents after one of his colleagues was arrested for assaulting a federal agent.
The California lawmaker has made a number of controversial statements surrounding the recent arrest of Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), who is facing charges for assaulting a federal officer after she and a handful of other lawmakers and activists attempted to gain access to the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark. Footage from the scene appears to show Rep. McIver elbowing and shoving a federal agent while attempting to gain access to the facility.
McIver has denied the allegations against her and insisted she was simply carrying out her “official duties” by attempting to gain access to the facility.
“A RED LINE has been crossed. Trump is prosecuting his political enemies in Congress,” Swalwell wrote in an X post after charges against McIver were announced Monday. “This is just the beginning. We must take whatever we’ve done before to show dissent and go ONE RUNG HIGHER.”
The far-left lawmaker then suggested that acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba will be prosecuted
if Democrats regain power. “And save your bull**it documents on this, Alina. You’ll need them when you testify.”
