On the last day of the session for the Texas Legislature yesterday, a near brawl broke out between Democrat and Republican representatives over a GOP rep’s threat to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest illegal immigrant protesters in the House gallery.
Dramatic video of the altercation, followed by dueling Twitter posts, just heightened the tensions between the two camps.
Both sides accused the other of issuing threats of physical harm and even death. Whatever the case might be, it was absolutely clear that the Democrats swarmed toward the Republican on the floor of the Legislature in a very threatening manner.

Didn’t happen no call was made
Keep it up you F’ing morons! The more$#%&!@*you do the more people you will turn off!
How come the people making threats are not arrested on sight?
hey Eric, go take your meds; your dementia is showing.
Did the right thing calling ICE.
Stand strong for Texas.
Good I hope there back in their country tonight.
How many people did ICE pick up? Just wondering if the loudmouths left before they got there.
I call ICE every time I see a bunch of Mexicans on a construction site. All you have to do is scream “immigration!” Then watch them scatter like cockroaches.
I hope more people do this at rallies and protests
