Dem Rep Whines About DHS ‘Harassing’ Illegal Alien He Brought To SOTU

A Democratic congressman brought an illegal immigrant to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday night.

Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton invited Marcelo Gomes da Silva, who was detained by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after he overstayed a student visa, to the speech. Gomes da Silva was hustled to the ex-Marine’s congressional office after the Department of Homeland Security noted he was in the country illegally in a Tuesday evening post on X, according to a Wednesday statement.

“During last night’s State of the Union address inside the U.S. Capitol, a decision was made out of an abundance of caution to pull Congressman Moulton’s guest, Marcelo Gomes da Silva, from the House gallery audience after the official government account for the Department of Homeland Security issued this tweet at 8:24 PM ET targeting and harassing Marcelo,” Aidan Curran, Moulton’s communications director, claimed in the release.

“Marcelo was escorted from the House gallery at approximately 9:45 PM by a staff member from Congressman Moulton’s office. After leaving the State of the Union, Marcelo returned to Congressman Moulton’s office and watched the remainder of the speech from there,” Curran added.

Democrats remained seated
