After Dems' failed insurrection at an ICE detention facility in New Jersey, Hakeem Jeffries threatens federal law enforcement with violence

[j-mac]

Threatening a federal officer is a serious offense under federal law, specifically covered by 18 U.S.C. § 115. It can result in imprisonment and fines, and the specific penalties depend on the nature and severity of the threat.

Key Elements of the Crime:

• Intent to Impede, Intimidate, or Interfere:
  The threat must be made with the intent to interfere with the federal officer's duties or to retaliate for actions taken in their official capacity.
  
  
• Specific Official Duties:
  The threat must relate to the officer's official duties.
  
  
• Communication of the Threat:
  The government only needs to prove that the defendant intentionally or knowingly communicated the threat, not that the threat was carried out.
• Federal Officer:
  The threat must be directed at a federal officer or a member of their family.

Penalties:

• Simple Threat: A threat made with intent to impede, intimidate, or interfere with an official's duties can lead to imprisonment for up to 5 years.
  
  
• Threat of Assault: A threat of assault can result in imprisonment for up to 3 years.
  
  
• Assault on an Officer: If the threat escalates to an actual assault, the penalties can be significantly higher, including up to 10 years for an assault involving physical contact or intent to commit another felony, and up to 30 years for serious bodily injury or the use of a dangerous weapon.

Examples of Covered Threats:

• Threats to a judge to influence their decision-making.
• Threats to a federal law enforcement officer to intimidate them from enforcing the law.
• Threats to a federal official's family members to retaliate for their work.

Well, as reported tonight, some in Congress, and the DoJ are considering just that.

Absolutely correct. And when someone breaks the law by attacking an ICE official, or the like, and says that Jeffries told him to do that, then you have a point. Until then it's just rhetoric.

Jeffries statements are way more insurrectionist directive than anything that Trump ever said

Now there's a winning ticket....

Maybe I'm just an old fogie, but I'd actually like to see both sides tone it down a bit, and see if they can work together for the American people.

I will not be civil with Pedo / NAMBLA types no matter how acceptable the Marxists try to make them

Those severely RETARDED Democrats wonder why they LOST????????

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

Demafasict have long thought they were above the law, they are finding out they aren’t

Remember when those "stinky" Democrats stood outside the Supreme court Judges houses protesting???

And the assassination attempt on a justice life? Trying to over throw the judicial branch

I'll give you that...I have confidence that if Bondi thinks he's breaking the law, she'll go after him...

Can't fault you for that.

These people are out of control. Rabid.

It's time for Trump and the DOJ to drop the hammer, and start arresting anyone who threatens or foments violence. ANYONE.

Hmm.

Now Democratic Congressfolk.

We sure are finding out a lot of people really are ABOVE THE LAW!
