Earlier today, several Democratic members of Congress, outraged over the existence of an ICE detention center holding illegals, attempted to storm the facility alongside the town's mayor. The mayor, mistakenly believing local authority extended to federal facilities, was arrested after the group tried to breach the gates.

Oh, boo-hoo!
How was it unjust, Governor?

The citizen in question clearly broke the law.
And no one is above the law, I have it on good authority. https://t.co/CBMiXlaUQ7 pic.twitter.com/nE6vVn2D9C
Oh, it was not unjust in any way, shape or form. Democrats just don't like it.

You’re such a douche, you think the mayor is above the law and allowed to push his way into that facility? What a moron. https://t.co/8Io7deK4jB

They truly only think laws are made for Republicans.
Read the supremacy clause & after that, get your elected officials in line https://t.co/i6oEwr7PYo

NJ Gov. Phil Murphy is demanding Mayor Baraka be released from prison even though Baraka was just arrested for breaking federal law.

Speaking of breaking federal law, @GovMurphy admitted to harboring an illegal above his garage.
Murphy even dared the Feds to get the illegal. https://t.co/VvQuCTHKFH pic.twitter.com/LyndP7nnmo
Democrats love to flout the law.
I guess NJ needs to recall its governor and elect a new one. https://t.co/ILAvrLQ0Hk

That would be a dream come true.
If dems didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all. https://t.co/r62otWOnVM

To be clear, their standards are very low.
I thought storming a federal facility was a threat to democracy, no? https://t.co/KSKPx0WYSA

Again, only when conservatives do it. Democrats aren't required to follow the laws.
