DHS Raids Congressman’s Office, Sparks Fascism Accusations
Following the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, DHS agents raided the Manhattan office of Rep. Jerry Nadler, briefly handcuffing a staffer without a warrant. The agents claimed they were searching for “harboring rioters,” prompting accusations of intimidation tactics against Democrats and a broader pattern of authoritarian overreach. Rep. Nadler and other Democrats condemned the incident, citing the potential for similar actions against any citizen and calling for an end to such aggressive practices. This incident, alongside other recent arrests, highlights concerns about due process violations under the current administration.
