Jeffries warns admin against arresting Dems: ‘Clear lines that they just dare not cross’

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday hammered the Trump administration for threatening to arrest Democratic members of Congress, saying such a move would constitute a clear case of executive overreach.

“It’s a red line,” Jeffries told reporters in the Capitol. “They know better than to go down that road.”

On Tuesday, he took that message up a notch, characterizing McLaughlin as “a joke” while warning that Democrats won’t be cowed by Trump’s threats, especially as the president’s approval ratings have fallen well under water.

“We’re not going to be intimidated by their tactics to try to force principled opposition from not standing up to their extremism,” Jeffries said.

Ocasio-Cortez Warns: Trump Admin Will Have a ‘Problem’ if More Democrats Arrested

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has warned the Trump administration that they will be in for a “problem” if they arrest any more Democrats.

The congresswoman issued her warning in an Instagram video posted on Sunday in response to the recent arrests of three Democrat New Jersey members of the House — Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez, and LaMonica McIver — during a visit to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center. AOC accused the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of “public intimidation.”

“If anyone’s breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress, it’s the Department of Homeland Security,” she said. “It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem.”

“You lay a finger on someone, on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman … or any of the representatives that were there, you lay a finger on them, we are going to have a problem,” she added. “Because the people who are breaking the law are the people not abiding by it.”

But, there’s something interesting happening: there are no responses from Trump, Homan, Noem, or anyone else in the administration. At one time you would have expected a social media response from Trump. He doesn’t do that anymore. Jeffries and AOC want to get all big and bad and……crickets. Because they aren’t worth the time for the Trump admin. You can bet that if a Democrat breaks the law they will be arrested, and people like AOC and Jeffries can gnash their teeth all they want. It’s not going stop if Democrats break the law.

But, hey, if Democrats want to die on the hill of protecting illegals who are murderers, rapists, and child abusers, it’s not going to go well.
