Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib appeared to express her agreement this week with a man who called for U.S. Marshals to take into custody Trump administration officials who do not comply with congressional subpoenas.
The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives voted over the summer to hold both Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in criminal contempt of Congress.
The vote came after both Cabinet members defied congressional subpoenas to turn over documents related to the Trump administration’s efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census.
During a “Congress, Coffee, and Conversation” town hall event Tuesday in Detroit, a member of the audience suggested to Tlaib that Trump administration officials should be told that if they don’t comply with subpoenas, there will be “federal marshals that will hunt them down” and take them into custody.
