Rep. Rashida Tlaib told constituents that Democrats are working to figure out ways that they can arrest members of President Trump’s administration if they do not cooperate with subpoenas.
“This is the first time we’ve ever had a situation like this. So they’re trying to figure out, no joke, they’re trying to figure out, well, is it the D.C. police that goes and gets them? We don’t know. Where do we hold them?” the Michigan Democrat said at a “Congress, Coffee, and Conversation” event Tuesday in Detroit.
The freshman congresswoman then joked that she would tell congressional leaders that they could keep White House officials imprisoned in Detroit.
“We’ll take care of them,” she said.
Tlaib, 43, is a member of the freshman “squad” along with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley.
The congresswoman has been a vocal critic of President Trump and entered office this year promising to impeach him. She rose to stardom on the Left after a rant in which she said, “We’re gonna impeach the motherf—er!”
Trump in turn has called the lawmaker an “anti-Semite” who hates “all Jewish people.”
