Democrats outraged with DHS after Nadler staffer handcuffed
- On May 28, 2025, DHS Federal Protective Service officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s Manhattan district office and handcuffed a staffer during a security-related incident.
- The officers responded to reports of protesters inside the office and accused staffers of 'harboring rioters,' while DHS claimed it was a routine security check.
- Nadler and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin led House Democrats in condemning the incident as a violation of separation of powers and called on Chairman Jim Jordan to summon DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
- Nadler described the tactics as 'totally unacceptable' and warned, 'If this can happen in a Member of Congress's office, it can happen to anyone,' amid growing public outrage.
- The incident heightened tensions over the Trump administration's immigration enforcement and raised concerns about DHS’s aggressive tactics undermining congressional autonomy and immigrant communities.
