This follows incidents involving Democratic lawmakers, including Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who were involved in a controversial visit to an ICE facility in New Jersey, which resulted in Baraka&#8217;s arrest. McLaughlin emphasized that if Ocasio-Cortez engaged in similar actions, arrest could be a possibility.<\/p>\n<p>The chaos at the facility reportedly stemmed from lawmakers trying to confront the agency on its treatment of detainees. AOC,in her social media video,warned of repercussions should any harm come to her or her colleagues. The lawmakers argued they were ther to conduct oversight, while DHS accused them of political theatrics. Body camera footage released by DHS recorded tensions between protesters, lawmakers, and officers during the incident.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs&nbsp;Tricia McLaughlin said Monday on Fox Business that an arrest would be &ldquo;on the table&rdquo; for Democratic New York Rep.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could face arrest if she trespassed and assaulted ICE agents. Ocasio-Cortez shared a video on Instagram advocating for Democratic representatives involved in an incident at a New Jersey ICE facility, which resulted in the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. During a discussion about this on &#8220;The Bottom Line,&#8221; co-host David Asman asked McLaughlin if an arrest would be likely if Ocasio-Cortez attempted a similar action at the facility. McLaughlin responded that such actions could lead to legal consequences, especially since some Democrats claim they are merely exercising oversight. The situation escalated last Friday when chaos broke out at Delaney Hall, where Baraka and several Democratic representatives were present and reportedly tried to push through security during a protest against ICE operations. Following Baraka&#8217;s arrest, staff members from Coleman and McIver defended their actions as part of their oversight duties rather than any form of storming the facility.
