Democrats who have been arrested or detained over anti-ICE aggression

A slew of Democrats have been dramatically arrested for allegedly trying to block ICE agents or wreak havoc at protests ever since the Trump administration started cracking down on illegal immigrants across the country.

From elected officials in New York City to senators in California, the handful of lefty names have been hellbent on causing a scene in a bid to thwart Trump’s agenda.

In the wake of the deadly Minneapolis ICE shooting, liberals were quick to blame Republicans for fueling the violence that led to the female protester, Renee Nicole Good, being fatally shot by a federal agent.

Here’s a round-up of the Dems who have made headlines over their own antics:

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander

Brad Lander was dramatically arrested at a federal immigration courthouse in Manhattan in June last year after he attempted to intervene as masked federal agents were intercepting an immigrant leaving a hearing.

Chaotic video, which was widely ripped at the time as a political stunt, captured the failed mayoral candidate demanding to judicial warrant before being cuffed on charges of assaulting law enforcement and impeding a federal officer.

After spending several hours in custody, he was cut loose and the charges were dropped.

The lame-duck controller was nabbed again in September for blocking an elevator bank at 26 Federal Plaza, which is where the immigration court is held, while ICE operations were underway. 

Lander pleaded not guilty to the charge — a class C federal misdemeanor — last month, ranting that the feds were the ones carrying out the crime.

“I pleaded not guilty to the charge, because the crime was not us sitting on the floor of the 10th floor elevator lobby. The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the 10th floor,” Lander said after his arraignment at New York’s Southern District federal court.

New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) was hit with a federal assault charge last spring for allegedly assaulting ICE agents during a skirmish at one of the Garden State’s immigration detention centers.

McIver was among several elected officials, including Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who were nabbed while trying to gain access to Delaney Hall, a 1,000-bed facility, during the rowdy protests in May.

Prosecutors claim McIver “slammed” her forearm into an ICE agent and placed her arms around the mayor to try to thwart his arrest.

A federal judge on Monday rejected McIver’s bid to toss the charges based on legislative immunity.

Her lawyers have repeatedly attempted to argue that McIver was performing legislative duties protected by the Constitution when she showed up to inspect the detention center — and that she should be immune from prosecution.

McIver, who represents New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District, slammed the charges as “purely political” and blamed ICE agents for the confrontation.  

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka

Mayor Baraka, who was arrested alongside McIver at the Newark detention facility, was initially charged with trespassing.

The charge was dismissed just 10 days later.

Baraka, for his part, later slapped US Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, with a lawsuit — accusing her office of “malicious prosecution” and violating his Fourth Amendment rights.

Habba had claimed Baraka ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to leave the facility.

The mayor, however, insisted he complied with the order before agents came outside the gate and took him into custody. 

California Sen. Alex Padilla

Senator Alex Padilla was booted out of a Los Angeles news briefing last June as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem discussed the ongoing anti-ICE riots that were engulfing the city.

“Secretary, I want to know why you insist on exaggerating and embellishing,” Padilla raged from the crowd as he sought to cut Noem off mid-sentence.

“I’m Sen. Alex Padilla, I have questions for the secretary,” he added as security began shoving him toward the doors.

Footage showed Padilla being forced to the ground outside the room as officers put him in handcuffs.

Noem insisted in the aftermath that the senator was detained because her Secret Service detail was simply trying to protect her.

She ended up meeting with him briefly after the press conference before he was cut loose.

“We probably disagree on 90% of the topics, but we agreed to exchange phone numbers, we’ll continue to talk and share information, and I think that’s the way it should be in this country,” Noem said in the wake of the saga.

“I wish he would have acted that way in the beginning instead of creating a scene like this.”
