Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) was arrested recently for, according to The National Pulse, interrupting a news conference. In this conference, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was addressing the recent anti-ICE riots when Senator Padilla interrupted with shouts. The Senator was eventually dragged out of the room by Secret Service agents before being arrested.

Brad Lander, New York City Comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate, was likewise arrested for holding on to an illegal immigrant that federal agents were actively attempting to arrest.

Ras J. Baraka, Mayor of Newark, was arrested at a what The National Pulse calls a “disorderly protest” outside of an ICE detention center. He was reportedly released only five hours after his arrest.

New Jersey Representative LaMonica R. McIver was arrested and subsequently indicted for assaulting federal agents at the same protest Baraka was arrested at. Interestingly, Representative McIver reportedly assaulted the agents while trying to block the arrest of Baraka.

Lastly, Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested for and charged with felony obstruction of justice. As IFA covered at the time, she allegedly helped a man avoid being arrested by immigration authorities.

These are just a few of the high-profile arrests of officials and lawmakers we’ve seen. As protests continue around the nation, however, we’re bound to see more. Let’s pray for an end to lawlessness in our nation!
