Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) on Sunday called threats to arrest Democratic colleagues over an incident at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility “very drastic” and only appropriate if anyone actually broke the law.

In an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” McCaul was asked about ICE arresting the mayor of Newark, N.J., outside a federal detention center Friday and about new threats of arrest against three members of Congress who similarly tried to access the detention center.

“Should ICE be arresting or even threatening to arrest members of Congress?” host Ed O’Keefe asked McCaul in the interview.

“I mean, that’s obviously a very drastic move. I would only do that if they were complicit with a crime,” McCaul responded. “I don’t know all the facts behind this.”

"Regardless of how beautiful the plane may be, it opens a door and implies the President and US can be bought," Haley continued. "If this were Biden, we would be furious."

Speaking from the podium at Mayor Jean Stothert’s campaign party on Tuesday night, Gov. Jim Pillen told Republicans that they “just didn’t get the vote out.”

He said Stothert’s re-election should have been a “slam-dunk,” and that GOP voters — particularly in West Omaha — need to look in the mirror.
