Dems Call On Jim Jordan To Condemn The Handcuffing Of House Aide By Noem’s ICE Thugs In Nadler’s Office

June 3, 2025 Republicans, Trump Administration

Politico reports:

Top Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are calling on chair Jim Jordan to condemn the detainment of a Congressional aide by Department of Homeland Security authorities.

A staffer for Rep. Jerry Nadler — the former senior Democrat on the Judiciary panel — was handcuffed in the member’s district office last week, amid protests outside the building of an immigration courthouse that shares the same facility. DHS claimed the aide, who was never arrested, was briefly detained as part of a larger security check to protect federal employees.

But in their letter to Jordan Tuesday, Rep. Jamie Raskin — the top current ranking member of the Judiciary Committee — and Nadler argued the staffer’s detainment followed a pattern of threatening actions by the Trump administration and urged Jordan to call DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to testify before the committee regarding her agency’s posture.

Gothamist reported last week:

In a dramatic incident captured on video, U.S. Department of Homeland Security police Wednesday handcuffed one of Rep. Jerry Nadler aides in the congressmember’s Manhattan office, which is in the same federal office building as an immigration courthouse.

In the video, which was shared with Gothamist and filmed by a person who was monitoring activity in immigration court, DHS officers entered Nadler’s district office and accused staff members of “harboring rioters.” A Nadler staffer is seen crying and being handcuffed. Another officer is at a door trying to enter a private area of the office while a staffer asks for a warrant.

DHS later said in a statement that “one individual” — the woman seen being handcuffed — had blocked police from performing a security check they intended to do based on information there were protesters in the lawmaker’s office.

Lay your bets on Jordan actually doing something.
