In a bold move that underscores the GOP’s firm stance on law and order, House Speaker Mike Johnson is weighing serious consequences for three far-left Democrats who *stormed* a federal immigration detention center in Newark, New Jersey—an incident that has left Americans stunned and furious.
The drama unfolded on May 9, when three Democrat members of Congress unlawfully entered the Delaney Hall Detention Center, interfering with federal operations at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. One of them was even *caught on camera assaulting federal agents*. Let that sink in: elected officials, sworn to uphold the Constitution, engaged in lawless behavior and physical aggression against those tasked with protecting our nation’s borders.
During a press conference on May 14, Speaker Mike Johnson made it clear that this won’t be swept under the rug. “There’s three possible disciplinary actions that Congress, the House can take,” Johnson explained, outlining a path that could lead to committee removals—and even expulsion.
First on the table: **stripping them of their committee assignments**. “That probably does seem appropriate here,” Johnson said, reminding reporters that the precedent for such discipline was set by none other than the Democrats themselves. “That’s a new tradition begun by the Democrats in recent years,” he added, referencing the left’s tendency to weaponize committee assignments to silence their political opponents.
Second: **expulsion from Congress**. While Johnson acknowledged that a two-thirds vote would be required—making it a difficult outcome given the GOP’s slim majority—he emphasized that it’s still under consideration.
Most damning of all, Johnson made it clear that **these radical Democrats may have broken the law**. “I think it’s pretty clear that the law was violated,” he said. “We’re looking at what is appropriate.”
He didn’t stop there. Johnson drew a sharp comparison between the actions of these rogue lawmakers and a recent scandal involving a **Wisconsin judge indicted for hiding an illegal alien** from ICE. That judge now faces **up to six years in prison** and **\$350,000 in fines** for obstruction of justice and other charges.
“What these House Democrats did is in that same lane, the same vein of what the judge is being indicted for,” Johnson pointed out. “So I think there’s some legal ramifications to play out here.”
In other words: the law applies to *everyone*—even grandstanding Democrats who think they’re above it.
Let’s be clear about what happened: three elected Democrats *physically interfered* with ICE agents during an active operation at a detention facility. Imagine the media outrage if Republicans stormed a federal facility and assaulted officers. But because these were Democrats pushing a radical open-borders agenda, the leftist media has gone largely silent.
Speaker Johnson, however, is refusing to let this lawlessness slide. From removing committee seats to expulsion to possible criminal prosecution, the message is clear: **Congress is not a shield for criminal behavior**—and the days of Democrats acting with impunity may be coming to an end.
