As ICE agents improperly arrested Newark's Mayor on Friday, they also manhandled my former boss -- Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman -- who is 80 years old. (She's the one with gray hair below.)

Bonnie made clear how this escalation by the Trump administration is a threat to the rights and liberties of all Americans: "What they did to Mayor Baraka, and if they do what they did to the three of us [members of Congress], then they can do it to anybody."

To sum up what happened: Members of Congress have a right to inspect federal ICE facilities. ICE actually let them in! After they came out, they were greeted by Newark's Mayor and were going to do a press conference. Then, ICE agents came outside of their facility and specifically rounded up Newark's mayor! They charged him with "trespassing" even though he was not in the ICE facility and was on public Newark property!

And now, the Dept. of Homeland Security is publicly threatening to arrest the 3 members of Congress!

It's outrageous.

Can you sign the card and say THANK YOU to the 4 elected officials who stood up for the rights and liberties of all Americans, and let them know the are inspiring the country to fight back hard? Click here.
