As blue cities continue to struggle, Democrats are continuing their fight for illegal alien criminals.
The latest episode happened in New Jersey, where the mayor and three members of congress stormed the ICE facility in Newark, demanding a visit.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, considered to be a top Democratic gubernatorial candidate, was arrested for trespassing, before being released later on
The White House blasted the Democrats for their defense of deported illegal immigrant criminals.
"As always, Democrats are prioritizing the welfare of illegal aliens over American citizens - except now they're crossing the line between meaningless political street theatre and outright breaking the law," White House spokesman Kush Desai told Fox News Digital.
And as for the 3 members of congress? They were ripped by DHS.
"These members of Congress storming into a detention facility goes beyond bizarre political stunt and puts the safety of our law enforcement agents and the detainees at risk," a DHS statement to Fox News said. "Members of Congress are not above the law and cannot illegally break into detention facilities. Had these members requested a tour, we would have facilitated a tour of the facility."
The prison currently holds alleged killers, MS-13 gang members and child rapists, among other criminal offenders.
