President Donald Trump's mission to root out illegal aliens from American streets doesn't stop in the nation's capital, not even for those who work for some of the most powerful people in Congress.
According to the New York Post, one of Rep. Jerrold Nadler's (D-NY) aides was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) inside of the congressman's Manhattan office.
The arrest caused an uproar among Democrats, and especially from Rep. Nadler, who clearly wasn't happy with the situation.
Nadler accused the president of "sowing chaos" across the nation after ICE agents made the arrest.
In what was described as a "dramatic" confrontation with Department of Homeland Security officers, agents entered the Big Apple office Wednesday and accused Nadler's staffers of "harboring rioters."
"President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidating tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner," the congressman reportedly told Politico.
Being extra dramatic, Nadler warned that this "could happen to anyone."
“If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening," he said.
The Post noted:
The video, obtained by Gothamist, showed one agent aggressively restraining a teary-eyed female staffer, while another employee asked for a warrant and blocked a second officer from entering a private section of the congressional office, located in the same Varick Street building as federal immigration court.
Nadler accused the agents and the Trump administration of violating legal protocols as a result of what he called a "deeply troubling" incident.
Federal Protective Service officers were dispatched to Nadler's office after the agency received reports that he was "harboring" protesters inside.
Officials said, "Based on earlier incidents in a nearby facility, FPS officers were concerned about the safety of the federal employees in the office and went to the location to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those present."
Of course, what Nadler didn't mention is that the lady who responded to the officers at the door of his office was confrontational, both verbally and physically.
DHS explained, "The officers then detained the individual in the hallway for the purpose of completing the security check."
