Ocasio-Cortez took to Instagram after the Department of Homeland Security suggested they may pursue arrests of three Democratic lawmakers who partook in a protest outside of an ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey. Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Rob Menendez (D-NJ) and LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) all attended the protest.

    Just thinking back to how Rashida Talib was treated when she was trying to bring attention to the Palestinian genocide and how none of her peers backed her up.

    But now that Trump is president its a good time to stand up for peers since bad things only happen when there’s a dang Cheeto in the White House.
