Well, well, well.
If this doesn’t add a wrinkle to all the excessive emoting going on in Newark at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center called Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey.
You know, this crap – where NJ cops, either local or state, are not allowed to come to the assistance of the federal officers who have been under siege for a week now.
Today @TheJusticeDept charged rioter Brendan John Geier for allegedly kicking and biting ICE officers at Delaney Hall last night. We will not tolerate the vicious attacks on ICE officers we’ve seen in New Jersey the last few days. These riots are clearly not “peaceful protests”… pic.twitter.com/1GrkktCW5E

What a despicable woman.
Who’s Really Threatening Public Safety? @GovSherrillNJ says masked ICE agents are endangering communities and “terrorizing” New Jersey. But protesters outside Delaney Hall are threatening to kill officers’ families, targeting their children, and chanting “You will hang”. The… pic.twitter.com/95h2B6o618

…But protesters outside Delaney Hall are threatening to kill officers’ families, targeting their children, and chanting “You will hang”. The video raises a simple question: Who is actually escalating tensions? Watch and decide for yourself.
In breaking news on that front, I’m going to assume that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullins threats to pull ICE and officers out of the area airports – effectively shutting down international travel just as the FIFA championships roll into the TriState Areas – have scored some blood.

Governor Jersey Mikie Sherrill is suddenly all concerned about a safety zone around the facility and sending assistance to the feds trapped there.
God, she’s disgusting.
I will not give ICE the pretext to expand operations in our state.
For that reason, New Jersey law enforcement is today establishing a peaceful, protected, protest zone in the area outside Delaney Hall.
My Administration will be working together with community members, faith…

…My Administration will be working together with community members, faith leaders, advocates, and State Police to help people move there today.
Our top priority is public safety – and we need to take this opportunity to lower the temperature now.
Much has been made of the various congressional poseurs arriving and parading in front of the gates, demanding entrance and filming videos for their campaigns.
One of the worst offenders has been NJ Rep Rob Menendez, who, as I discovered during the research for a previous post, has a serious primary challenger.
He’s taken to sleeping in his car to beef up his heroic image for Democrat voters and fend off the younger, prettier radical breathing down his neck.
We will never stop showing up, and we will never stop telling the stories of the people being detained at Delaney Hall – until we shut it down for good. pic.twitter.com/EgElBUSoBM

But it turns out that scummy New York congressmen are using the Delaney confrontations for their own purposes, as well – beef up that street cred.
See this guy here?
He’s sure trying to make sure you do, isn’t he?
“I have a court order here that allows me to come in. I will go in because the Constitution protects me” Congressman Adriano Espaillat says this morning outside the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey pic.twitter.com/YWW9AM2bdI

Boldy waving COURT ORDER! CONSTITUTION! CHEST THUMPING!
I’M GOING IN!
Well…
It turns out that heroic, elderly figure, Rep Adriano Espaillat from NY-13, is running against a sweet young socialist himself.
Isn’t she cute? Looks like every campus radical ever.
Politico: Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist running against Rep. Adriano Espaillat in next month’s primary election, called former President Biden “a rapist” and “a war criminal” on social media in 2020.
Besides Biden, Avila Chevalier has targeted former Vice…

And it’s, like, not going so well.
The chair of the House Hispanic Caucus is having to ask for money for the first time.
NEW: Espaillat’s colleagues think he’s in trouble.
One House Dem said he solicited $ despite having “never asked me for money” before.
The “polling is much closer than it should be,” said a second.
A third told @axios: “He indeed has a tough primary.” https://t.co/ZDt6fr864L

And it just got a lot worse. See, these young progressive whippersnappers don’t respect age and seniority or good deeds done in office for nuthin’. So his young, raging Palestinian-boosting, Democratic Socialist of America challenger just scored herself one big endorsement and it stings more than a little in that it’s someone Rep Espaillat had endorsed himself just last year.
It’s bad when the worm turns, but when it bites you in the tuchus, too?
Damn. That sucks.
Zohran Mamdani has stabbed New York’s Dominican community in the back. @EspaillatNY is a beloved member of the Dominican American community who is also chair of the Hispanic caucus, loved by everyone across north Manhattan.
His only crime?

…He isn’t an antisemite which is why the DSA is trying to knock him out.
No wonder the older gentleman took himself across the river to beat on a hurricane fence gate in Newark.
Gotta get the film clips for the ads.
Looks like they all do.
Frauds. That’s all they are.
None of the protesters are organic…
I wanted to come on here and share an update with you all. A first hand account of what I am seeing at Delaney Hall in New Jersey. I have included photos and videos in the video for extra detail.
1st thing, these protestors have no idea of what they’re talking about. They are… pic.twitter.com/e3jZUPKYYv

…1st thing, these protestors have no idea of what they’re talking about. They are chanting democracy while also telling ICE agents to kill themselves while they try and overthrow laws and regulations.
2nd thing, the main time violence and chaos occurs is during the entrance and exit of emergency vehicles. Left wing agitators are seeing this as a time to get in the way or make lives harder on people.
3rd thing, an encampment is outside of Delaney Hall. The stereotype that these people have no jobs has never been more true. They are sleeping and spending 24 hours a day out here.
4th thing, these left wing circles travel far. There are coordinated efforts to expose right wingers and dox these agents on apps like Reddit and blue sky. Myself and others like @camhigby are being posted among these rioters.
…none of the people inside are starving or mistreated…
Cain: Here’s what DHS showed us about the menu inside Delaney hall. Today it looks like they had cereal and grilled potatoes for breakfast. Chicken stir fry for lunch and for dinner, tuna salad. They also had burritos. pic.twitter.com/ufaulAo4mb

…and not a single one of the Democratic politicians who pop in for the cameras gives a rat’s patootie about anything other than camera face time for the midterms.
If you break our immigration laws, you will be detained and deported.
I don’t make the laws, Congress does. @CoryBooker is trying to turn an ICE detention center—which houses illegal alien criminals—into a political football for his radical left base.

It’s all Democratic performative theater blithely played on the back of ICE and federal agents who are trapped in an impossible situation.
For that alone, I hope they all go out in flames in their primaries and November.
Despicable.
