Moskowitz on ICE arresting of the mayor of Newark and harassing other elected Dems: "I gotta be honest -- I think someone at Homeland decided to set them up as they were exiting the facility. The deep state, remember -- that still exists."

The mayor and three members of the U.S. House were assaulted on public property. That is a fact. The State of New Jersey and the city should file criminal charges for assault.
DHS is not a legitimate agency. It was set up by another illegitimate president (chads?)
Who created a 20 year war by lies, and created an element of fear about terrorism that failed to materialize- NOT becauae the department was successful, but because they refused to acknowledge white violence.
You may not have the right to enter the facility, and I may not have the right, but you might want to review the right provided to members of congress who have oversight for the facilities. Take a look.
I think there's a lot of confusion here. The facility that was being used by ICE has no permit from the City of Newark to exist there. The mayor and members of Congress had every right to go into it. I'm wondering what the mayor can do to have that facility removed.
Look, I don’t know if the paperwork was correctly filed and the beans were counted, but if congressional representatives with oversight of my work place show up, I’m not gonna be a dick and arrest their friend the Mayor. That would be fascist friendly, and you want us to be fascist compliant?
The facility was taking in new detainees . The politicians were their for Photo Ops just like AOC was at the border a few years ago for a photo op and never seen again . There is a protocol to follow . The Mayor was arrested for forcing his way in. Hes running for governor so nice photo op
I hope people are realizing that the projection of this administration has been a constant course of action. They are the swamp, they are the fraudsters, they are the ones breaking laws/ criminals, they are the ones who tank the economy. Much of what they say others are doing, is truly what they do
For clarity: the invention of “the deep state”, was a descriptor for Trump and his cronies. They’re the deep state- lining their pockets, sowing corruption for their benefit and the benefit of their millionaire/ billionaire friends
Thank you for informing me. I knew it was co-opted by republicans, but unsure as to when it began. It often appears to be used as a way to “other” democrats and anyone who’s against their policies.
The Deep State historically refers to all the fuckery that occurred under the Republican leadership of George HW Bush when he was the director of the CIA, into Iran-Contra. The term was later co-opted by different republicans
Notice that he's Fox news. He's using the red hat wearing cult of dipshits own weapon against them. Watch them jump through hoops now that a Democrat has used the term "deep state".
This message could have been better articulated. Calling members of this admin the “ deep state “ is stupid. Call them what they are: a criminal enterprise. Testing America’s limits to see what we will tolerate.
I agree. I was wondering if some members of congress are sending a dog whistle to the Qanon folks, because all most people need to hear is that it’s illegal.
They’re going to FA with someone who will defend themself from wrongful arrest, false imprisonment, and kidnapping. This will inevitably come to a head. DHS is lying.
It’s my hope that the one thing in which we can all have faith, is that the vast majority never wished for this scenario. I can’t imagine there will be much shock in where we end up, given our continued descending trajectory. It’s a matter of consciousness.
Why did they not arrest everyone there? They were all together! This is a show of force,but they knew they could not kidnap a member of congress without a fight, so they pick a mayor to show how tough they are! Just a bunch of cowards acting like big tough guys hiding behind their masks!
Shannon Bream is a TWA flight attendant transported directly from 1967, which accounts for the pearly lipstick, blond flip hairdo and solicitous deference to her masculine corporate superiors.
KKK not immigration officers, not detention centers but internment camps. let's be very clear on who they are, and who they are not. they are hooded bounty hunters breaking the law sticking innocent people into private concentration camps.. & you have a right to protect urself & concealed tracking
Trump once again trying to find out what he can get away with. He wants to see if he can get away with jailing elected Democrats.
The “enemy within” according to him.
Deep State?
Guess the MAGA cult is running low on things to blame. If there actually were/ever was a "Deep State" perhaps it served the American people better than this "Trump State" of non-stop chaos, corruption & cruelty.
The mayor said everything was fine until Homeland Security got involved and suddenly it all kicked off. This is coordinated harassment directly from the top.
If Moskowitz plans on running for FLORIDA GOVERNOR, he has David Jolly in the primaries. He needs to enter the race now. On the Republic side? Byron Donalds and wait for it. . Casey DeSantis.
I'd like to believe that as much of a laughable Uncle Tom as Byron Donalds is, Florida Man wouldn't be caught dead in a governor's race electing a ni__ (<-apologies to Mel Brooks)
Of course it was a set up. They took advantage of the situation to make him look bad. He wasn't even on their property. He never gained access beyond the gates. That's not trespassing. That's demanding answers about something going on in his state and city.
It wasn't trespassing it was protesting
The "deep state". The Loch Ness Monster. Big Foot. There must be a trillion iPhones with cameras and video. Did anybody-even Doge-find the cave where the creature sleeps? Eats? Voids is bowels? Maybe we just need new lingo. "Cool" is still "cool" but "deep state" is just boring.
I think that ICE is totally out of control with their harassment tactics. Now they take a mayor of a major city into custody and physically push through 3 House members to get to the mayor. Congress needs to shut this 💩 down. Felon47 is allowing this to happen. Pathetic!
Deep state is a truly stupid way to refer to this. A “deep state” wouldn’t be regularly going on Fox to boast and threaten. Stephen Miller and Tom Homan are the state, no deep needed.
"Faces covered like ICE agents dealing with criminals"
See, even the good guys are forgetting the reality, ICE are abducting people without due process from the streets of America, they're NOT dealing with 'criminals', but abusing citizens and breaking laws.
The first part was excellent, but then he needs to be clown boy with his deep state jokes at the end. People should be taking this seriously, but it’s the Moskowitz comedy hour all day every day.
I call BS… if that’s true show they video… release it prove your right.. easy peasy…. These MFers wanted to see what would happen if they arrested elected officials…
This isn't gonna stop until we fight back so start fighting back. No badge, no warrant no authority defend yourselves, do not allow yourself/others to be taken away by unidentified individuals Every legit law enforcement officer provides appropriate ID and a warrant. If they don't they're criminals
Where are the flipping Sopranos. You wise guys are immigrants, haven't you just about had enough of this BS? This is your neighborhood, you gonna take this crap? Not so hot after all, huh?
Anyone who interfered with members of Congress being at that facility is/was in violation of federal law and should be arrested. That includes any officials threatening arrest of those members of Congress. This CANNOT be tolerated.
Shut the fuck up about the deep state. The GOP is in charge of all of the government and is firing everyone. If there is a deep state fire them too or shut the fuck up.
GET YOUR KRISTI DOLL as part of your 2 doll quota. Comes loaded with accessories. The empty dog leash, bedazzled ICE vest, I LOVE EL SALVADOR bumper sticker, and Gucci handbag- complete with air-tag just in case you have $3,000 in cash in it!
As we've seen around the US, the police are removing barriers for ICE and arresting concerned & confused citizens who don't know whose doing the kidnapping. Politicians who speak out against the Trump regime and shine light on crimes, need personal, armed and recording body guards at all times.
Aren’t the Republicans in power today “The Deep State” = current government system in power
Using the same words for the Obama administration by GOP operatives shows again their incompetence & laziness
The “deep state” begins anew with every President
So their “deep state” should be angles ?
They fear no consequences. They ask us, “what are you going to do about it?” The reply is, “we will have a meeting,” their response is, “just what I thought.” 👴
Welcome to Germany of the 1940’s in America 2025! What else is next on their agenda? Who will ICE go after next? Will peaceful demonstrations be targeted next? Hands off America 🇺🇸 50/50 so far haven’t been their target. 🙏🏼 they won’t!
Fact 👇
1. The mayor was let into the center.
2. It's been against the law for the last 4 years, to operate private immigration detention centers in New Jersey. An ICE representative said, "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW"
It appears the GOP are not all about states rights, after all.
3. NJ also came after the illegal facility for massive code violations & shut it down.
4. The agents who reoccupied & reopened the facility were violating LAWS by being there at all.
4. Representatives are legally allowed to enter ICE facilities any time they want, it's called oversight
Been saying that for a while. They have nullified the Constitution. It is no more. States need to act like ICE is an invading horde from a rogue state. Pritzker should take the lead. Declare a state of emergency, cut off tax funds flowing to fed, close O'Hare, assign Nat Guard to detain/evict feds.
I have a strong feeling something tragic and previously preventable is going to happen. I might just be paranoid but the reason why you hire the most qualified is to avoid just that and he chose to hire TV personalities.
I’ve been warning people for years that this is coming. You better be armed up and ready to die for your country, your democracy and your children. Yes ready to die. This may be seem harsh, but at this point there’s no other way to be. They’re going to kill you if you don’t get them first.
It sounds extreme but this is why you’re probably correct.. it’s no coincidence the Right has been grooming conservative Christians for decades and just needed a lightening rod. We all know innumerable nonsensical wars have occurred as a consequence of religious zealotry. Trump+ religion= terrorism
As soon as sanity takes hold and all these traitorous fucks are locked up the better. We outnumber the fuck out of them and I don't think they will like their end, hopefully!
There will probably not be another real election for several years. We are facing a fait d'accompli by the right. The Democrats have failed us in a very big way. @ericswalwell.bsky.social
They had a legal right to be there. Full F'ing Stop.
Oversight is their Job.
Has he called Speaker Johnson to take action?
Being on the Sunday talk shows just ain't going to cut it anymore.
The fairytale of the "Deep State". The only GD deep state there is with White Supremacy. Antfia stands for Anti Fascist. There's no one paying them. They're simply US citizens that recognize fascism. Especially if you've had the opportunity to live abroad. As I did.
And, I'll add we don't need no GD wall. This is not Germany. This is not China. This is the melting pot of the world. If you don't like it, fucking move to Russia. Bye. 👋
Don't get me wrong, MAGA is still child-like in their cultist devotion to Trump, their simplistic ideology, rhetoric and methods of communicating (largely infantile insults and monosyllabic vocabulary).
In 2025 they are are ridiculous AND dangerous. True fascists
Meet Ricky Patel, the one who chose to follow orders, arrest Mayor Baraka and write and sign the affidavit contradicting the mayors story. He wants to be a big man so make him famous.
#unmaskICE
Very telling that even in this story, he brushes off ICE wearing masks and plainclothes on “normal raids, you know, with criminals, not with these Very Important People Who Get More Human Rightsñ
So, now the unprovoked actions by Domestic Terrorists pretending to work for the government are being blamed on some so-called deep state?
This is not bizarro-world and these kinds of statements must be ridiculed for the asinine mentality that created them.
When Aaron Rupar attaches a text quote, he is not summarizing the entire clip. All of you acting like Moskowitz has gone MAGA for saying the phrase "deep state" must not have listened to the whole thing.
To forestall ad hominems, let me say that Moskowitz is my 2nd least favorite Dem MoC
Interesting that the "deep state" did it to make them look oppressed but that also every Trump official and republican cheered it on and said it would happen again 🤔

I do not wish for this but it's a ticking time bomb. I am not wishing for bombs either but things are getting close to a head.
Until yesterday
Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121.
Tell them loud:
Defend the Constitution.
Impeach the corrupt president!

Kristi Noem does nothing if not photo ops… everything is performative
They're seeing it as more reasons to stay far away from all things USA since we've become a shithole banana republic as long as Trump is in office.
The “enemy within” according to him.

Self-proclaimed "not news" masquerading as "news" to commit espionage.
The deep state democrats hired ICE to arrest them?
😂😂😂

Also: "sales 101" says you never say "I gotta be honest," it implies to your audience that you weren't being honest to begin with.
Ahem.
“Dirty Tricks”

Dumb bitch.
#DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it.
#Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them.
Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

Democrats need to learn this and play heads-up.

100% agree, stock up on ammo while they still allow it in blue states.
Members of Congress ~ Senators and Representatives: Suggest you start regular visits to ICE facilities and consider ride-alongs.
You have the authority, exercise it.
Bring daylight to this and put it right into their faces.
You are a coequal branch of our government!
Fox is lying again... who'd a thought..?
Someone primary this schmuck.
FOX sticks to the same lines for decades.
Oversight is their Job.

Dems need to keep going on Fox News. Expose this shit to their audience.
GOP calling it an insurrection and Dems saying they were invited in.

Start with conviction; bring a friend, make a plan, make a habit
Say it out loud and say it often:
"This is wrong"
Then,
Insist
Resist
Persist
Your calculus is now this; it's very simple
Move against the administration
The first ones to do so will be labeled 'courageous' and 'patriotic', while the last ones to do so will be primaried
You are in power, now
That U.S. Congressional switchboard number is

These idiots are the shallow state.
Very deeeeeeeeep.
Talks like a setup,
A mayor gets arrested by masked Right-wing thugs,
IT WAS A SETUP!
