Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a U.S. Congress member representing New Jersey's 12th district, shared her views on recent events through a series of tweets. Her posts covered topics ranging from presidential pardons to immigration enforcement actions and more.
On January 23, 2025, Rep. Watson Coleman expressed strong disapproval of the pardoning of individuals involved in the attack on USCP Officer Brian Sicknick. She stated that "Pardoning the violent criminals who attacked USCP Officer Brian Sicknick is an insult to his memory, an affront to his family, and a disgrace to the Constitution that he swore to uphold, and gave his life to defend."
In another tweet posted on January 24, 2025, she criticized an operation conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Newark. She remarked that "Today, ICE carried out an unconstitutional raid in Newark, detaining lawful U.S. citizens, including a veteran who served our country, without a warrant. This is a flagrant violation of New Jersey's laws, our residents' rights, and the Constitution." A link to her full statement was provided in the tweet.
Later that day on January 24th, Rep. Watson Coleman posted another tweet with links but did not provide additional context or commentary: "https://t.co/OmFvUabApK https://t.co/Gx2QzpIn8J"
