(DCNF)—When former CNN host Jim Acosta told Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett on Wednesday that he was concerned that President Donald Trump’s administration might arrest her, she agreed his concerns were well-founded.
Democratic Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested on May 9 outside of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in his city, with Democratic New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver facing charges for allegedly assaulting law enforcement officers there the same day. Acosta, on “The Jim Acosta Show,” discussed the incident and suggested that Crockett could face a similar threat.
“To me, it’s not America when ICE agents can show up in masks, uh, sweep people up off the street, send them out of the country without due process, put them in these facilities and we don’t even know what’s happening inside these facilities,” Acosta said. “So, of course, it makes sense that members of Congress would want to go visit one of these ICE facilities and say, ‘Okay, what’s going on here? We’re members of Congress, we represent the people, we want to know what’s going on here.’”
“And then there’s there’s this scuffle where they’re giving these members of Congress a hard time and I’m worried about folks like yourself, Congresswoman, because I have to assume that you know, of course, they would like to arrest you and some of the others who are more outspoken in the House,” he continued. “That’s just me thinking that.”
Crockett immediately told Acosta he was “absolutely right.” She said her deputy chief of staff’s grandmother shared the same concern.
“After I got done in D.C., I had to go to El Paso to testify in federal court as it relates to the redistricting that was done in 2020 in the state of Texas,” she said. “And his grandmother did not know why we were going to El Paso, but she thought we were going to a detention facility … ‘I don’t know about Jasmine going, ’cause you know they want to lock her up and they probably gon’ grab her and throw her in too.’”
“And so, you know, it is sad that people are fearful and that they are looking at people like me and really scared because they know that there is a target on my back when you have the President of the United States who consistently drops my name and gets people all riled up,” she continued.
Crockett said Sunday on “Alex Witt Reports” that if Democrats were to regain a majority in the House, they would probe Trump on numerous issues.
“Listen, so long as we end up taking the House, which I fully anticipate that we will do and we are gonna work hard to obviously help our Senate colleagues as well,” she said. “Then as someone who serves on the Oversight Committee and hopes to lead the Oversight Committee, I can guarantee you that we will do what we are supposed to do as constitutionally sworn members of the House.”
“Which means that we will conduct oversight, that means that we will investigate, we will look at whether or not this president himself has violated the Emoluments Clause as relates to say such things as getting a $400 million plane from the Qataris,” she added. “We also will make sure that we’re looking into all these business deals that they have going on.”

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
