DHS is accusing the House Democrats of assaulting law enforcement. The lawmakers say they were the ones who were assaulted.
The lawmakers involved in the incident: Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), Rob Menendez (D-N.J.) and LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.).

What they're saying: DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a CNN interview on Saturday morning that "there will likely be more arrests coming."

"We actually have body camera footage of these members of Congress assaulting these ICE enforcement officers, including body slamming a female ICE officer," she added.
McLaughlin said there is an "ongoing investigation" and that arresting the lawmakers is "definitely on the table."
She confirmed in a text message to Axios that the House Democrats may be arrested.
