🚨Dems HIJACK GOP Hearing and TURN TABLES with WITNESS!!

These GOP hearings just blew up in their. face as MAGA Republican Congress members. were trying to cross-examine Democratic. witnesses and others to try to hold. these show hearings in the Judiciary. Committee and in the House Oversight. Committee. We saw Democrats like. Congressman Jamie Raskin basically. taking over the hearing, turning the. tables, and then turning this into a. Democrat-led hearing. And the MAGAs like.

Jim Jordan and James Comer had no clue. what even hit them. Let me show you what. went down as you have Democratic. Congressman Jamie Raskin in this hearing. on DOJ where the Trump regime was trying. to, you know, act like everything was. great and Jamie Raskin used it to. basically say, "Let's talk about DOJ for. a second. How many billions of dollars in grants. that were earmarked for things like. local law enforcement were basically.

stolen by DOJ and never returned?" Watch. as Jamie Raskin uncovers the staggering. number. Play this clip. >> this. It's more than $2 billion in. grants that have not gone. >> $2 billion, did you say? >> $2 billion. >> So, what what would that $2 billion have. been able to do for local police forces. around the country? >> It would be used to hire officers. It. would be used to train officers. It. would be used to support officer. wellness programs. It would be used to. support resources.

>> And let me just show you a longer. portion of that where you can see the. full context of what went down as Jamie. Raskin asks this witness critical. questions about what was really going on. behind the scenes at DOJ. Look how he. turned this hearing into an indictment. on DOJ. Brilliant work by Jamie Raskin. Let's play it. >> Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um. Mr. Pierce, I remember when um we. started this term of Congress and Elon. Musk and Doge wiped out about 500.

million dollars of grants that were. going to victim assistance groups, crime. fighting groups, local police. departments. Nobody could quite explain. why the particular Doge employee did. that, but they wiped out about a half a. billion dollar dollars of grants going. to help the families of victims and to. try to stop crime. Can you discuss what happened there? What were those grants? Why did that happen and what kind of. effect does that have when money that.

we've appropriated from Congress for. this purpose in the grants of program, they're wiped out. What effect does that. have? >> Sure. So it was actually 820 million in. Department of Justice grants that they. canceled. 500 of million of which had. already been granted. So that means that. organizations that were receiving those. grants had already started hiring staff, renting spaces. The communities that. were going to receive those public. safety grants had already started. relying on that money coming in and all. of that was wiped away. I've recently.

been working with the Victim Rights Law. Center, which is an amazing non-profit. organization in Massachusetts. They have. lost three attorneys so far because of. the way that the Department of Justice. is messing with these public safety. grants. That means victims, hundreds of. victims of sexual assault and rape no. longer have attorneys because that. public safety funding has disappeared. >> And it but it's not just victim. assistance groups, it's also crime. fighting groups and police departments. had. millions of dollars of grants that were. canceled, correct?

That's my recollection. So have the Office of Justice Programs. grants from fiscal year 2025. been reinstated and distributed? >> So we were talking about earlier about. canceled grants, right? There's a. national another problem with the. Department of Justice grants and that. they have significantly slowed down the. amount of grants that are growing across. the United States, not only for. organizations, but also for police. departments. In the fiscal year 2025,

Department of Justice grants that go. through the Office of Justice Programs. have not been fully granted. >> Well, why is that happening? >> I don't know. The Department of Justice. has not spoken to why this has happened. This is an unprecedented thing that has. caused disruption across our country, and the Department of Justice is not. telling anyone why they have been. delaying this. It's more than $2 billion. in grants that have not gone. >> $2 billion, did you say? >> $2 billion. >> So, what would that $2 billion have been. able to do for local police forces.

around the country? >> It would be used to hire officers. It. would be used to train officers. [clears throat and cough] It would be. used to support officer wellness. programs. It would be used to support. resources for law enforcement, such as. body cameras, different things that they. desperately need. >> More here as well from this. cross-examining cross-examination or. just making the witness his own. Let's. play this clip. >> Our system is complex because it's a. federal system, so we have national.

government, Department of Justice, federal policies, and we have state and. local policies. Um. and there you described this tension, this hostility that's creating problems. Can you discuss how jurisdictions. normally cooperate with the federal. government in different ways? Um and how does it best work? >> Sure. So, I mean, talking specifically. about immigration enforcement, like I. said during my testimony, every single. law enforcement jurisdiction across the.

United States cooperates with. immigration enforcement. Every time. someone is booked, that information is. sent to the Department of Homeland. Security and to ICE. And then. jurisdictions from there need to decide. how much more of their local resources. they will lend to ICE and immigration. enforcement uh, to help ICE do its job. >> Okay. Will you just help us understand. the different resources that are. available to the federal government and. then to local government police forces? >> Sure. So, as I said during my testimony,

um, this Congress has provided ICE with. 113.5. billion to do their job, to enforce. immigration law in the United States, and that is more than the combined. annual operating budget of every single. law and local law enforcement. jurisdiction in America. So, we're. talking about local police departments. that have limited amount of resources, and their primary duty is public safety. Their primary duty is not immigration. enforcement. Meanwhile, we have a.

federal agency who has a budget larger. than all but four militaries in the. world, um, and their primary duty is in. civil immigration enforcement. >> And here's how Jamie Raskin finished up. with this witness. Let's play this clip. But, what would you suggest we work on. on a bipartisan basis in Congress in. order to reduce, um, criminal violence by undocumented. immigrants, but in general, because, uh, there are people suffering these. tragedies generally across the country.

What can we do to bring down the crime. rate generally and all of the violence? >> Those resources that ICE receives should. be targeted at the biggest public safety. threats, right? We shouldn't have a. federal agency that is running a muck. across the United States trying to. fulfill a quota to get as many people. into detention and deportation as. possible. That's not making us safer. In. addition, we need a federal government. that's willing to work with local law. enforcement jurisdictions. We have had. ICE in the past have, um, compromise and.

communication be their primary driver. when they're working with local. jurisdictions. That goes a lot farther. than the bullying that we're seeing from. administration. That only increases the. distrust that we're seeing at the. federal level between the federal level. and the state. >> Then before that, Jamie Raskin, Democratic Congressman, ranking member. of the House Judiciary Committee, he called out ICE and the Border Patrol. Gestapo in perfect terms during a MAGA.

Republican hearing that was trying to, again, further divide the country and to. just spew hate and vitriol against. immigrants. Watch what Congressman Jamie. Raskin did here, how he turned the. tables. Let's play this clip. >> So, why are our colleagues so desperate. to keep pulling this boogeyman of the. sanctuary jurisdictions out of the. closet? Well, perhaps it has to do with. the fact that they voted to give DHS. more than a quarter of a trillion.

dollars. to improve immigration enforcement, and. America has watched as the Department of. Homeland Security has used this. staggering pile of money to waste on. luxurious private jets for the secretary. complete with bedrooms and bars on. overpriced and ultimately useless. industrial warehouses to detain human. beings that are now being sold off at a. massive loss to the taxpayers, on a. glitzy $220 million.

public relations horseback photo shoot. and ad campaign for a glamorous. Department of Homeland Security. secretary who called the slain citizens. Alex Petti and Renee Good terrorists. MAGA Republicans have done nothing as. ICE has abused hundreds of billions of. dollars to arrest, beat up, shoot, and. even kill. American citizens for exercising their. first and second amendment rights. They've allowed ICE to ignore its duty. to keep us safe from the worst of the.

worst, and instead gone after kids and. parents coming home from kindergarten, rape survivors who just finished. testifying in court, and volunteers at. Catholic church soup kitchens. ICE's. indiscriminate and chaotic immigration. enforcement has also undermined the. ability of state and local prosecutors. and law enforcement to keep their own. communities safe and to to deliver. justice to victims of crime. They are. deporting crime victims as well as key. witnesses and informants without any.

notice to state or local police and. prosecutors. As a result, investigations. are being thwarted, criminal trials are. being thrown into disarray, and American. communities are less safe. House. Judiciary Democrats put out a report. called Acquitted by Removal, how Trump's. mass deportation agenda abandons crime. victims and allows the perpetrators to. avoid justice, which I recommend that. all of you check out. Not only is DHS. not making our communities safer, it's. making us worse off. A recent study.

found that the metro areas most targeted. by ICE, in both red and blue states, had. suffered losses of nearly 670,000. jobs, up to 44% of which were held by. American citizens. The. uh immigration roundup is profoundly. costly to our communities. The. administration's attacks on so-called. sanctuary jurisdictions are hurting. Americans from all walks of life. One. can only regard with amazement the fact. that rather than own up to this. disastrous record, my colleagues are.

trying to change the subject and blame. the failures of the Department of. Homeland Security not on Kristi Noem and. her dysfunctional accomplices and. successors, but on the state and local. jurisdictions which did not create the. problem, have no real power to address. it, and are constitutionally protected. from being impressed into service, as. Justice Scalia said, by an illegal. commandeering policy passed by.

>> significantly greater than over made us. safer. They're the criminals. They're the. Gestapo. They're the SS. They've made. things far more dangerous. Watch. Congressman Raskin. Brilliant, brilliant. stuff right here. Let's play. >> all walks of life. One can only regard. with amazement the fact that rather than. own up to this disastrous record, my. colleagues are trying to change the. subject and blame the failures of the. Department of Homeland Security not on.

Kristi Noem and her dysfunctional. accomplices and successors, but on the. state and local jurisdictions which did. not create the problem, have no real. power to address it, and are. constitutionally protected from being. impressed into service, as Justice. Scalia said, by an illegal commandeering. policy passed by Congress. DHS has a. quarter of a million employees and a. budget larger than that of 150 countries. on Earth. It has over 80,000 sworn law. enforcement officers, more than the. number of officers in New York, Chicago,

LA, Houston, DC, Las Vegas, and Dallas. combined. But despite all of that, our. colleagues think that state and local. jurisdictions should be using their. money and their funds to do the. Department of Homeland Security job for. them. If our colleagues are serious. about public safety, they should join us. in imposing guardrails on ICE to refocus. their energy on going after the worst of. the worst and to ensure that they. respect the fundamental rights of every. US citizen. They should reinvest in. public safety programs that the. administration has cut, that supported.

local law enforcement, assisted victims. of crime, and gone after organized crime. drug traffickers. And they should put. push back on the president's shocking. abuse of the pardon power, which has. allowed drug traffickers and. international narco dealers and criminal. fraudsters to walk free, depriving. victims and taxpayers of nearly $2. billion in unmet restitution. Last. Congress, we came together to craft a. bipartisan border security bill. President Biden agreed to sign it, but.

then candidate Trump blew up the deal. because he wanted a crisis to run on. more than he wanted an actual solution. Sadly, since then our colleagues have. been doing more of the same, holding. hearing after hearing on the same topic, failing to pass their signature border. bill, or even their bill to coerce and. commandeer sanctuary cities to do their. >> There you have it, folks. Let me know. what you think. Jamie Raskin just uh. heroic. He's the ranking member. Democrats take control of the House, he. will be.

uh the chair of the House Judiciary. Committee, and he'll have the subpoena. power. And buckle up, folks, it's going. to be. some aggressive stuff. Everybody hit. subscribe. Let's get to 7 million.
