Now they're interfering in his foreign policy.... these people are dangerous.The vile and empty threat of congressional Democrats to use the inherent contempt arrest powers of congress in a way that is completely unrelated to their legislative duties is a laughable joke. Regardless of what it is Pelosi may order the sergeant-at-arms to do ultimately it will end up before a judge who will make the final decision.
There is a real possibility that the secret service detachment assigned to any given member of the White House staff will use deadly force to prevent an illegal arrest. Without a proper vote, without a proper proceeding and without proper authority the death of such members of that obese and sedentary bureaucracy known as the Capitol Police would lay squarely at the feet of those who ordered such illegitimate actions.
In short Congress does not have a stand-alone authority to arrest detain and incarcerate. They still need the blessing of the court system to carry it out and in this instance I do not believe they will get it.

Trips like this happen all the time no matter which party is in power. It's fact finding missions. Rump blocked the last one due to a temper tantrum. Now he's throwing another temper tantrum after the fact. it's congress's duty to do these fact finding missions just like Pelosi stated. If Rump doesn't like it he should get laws passed through congress to block them.
