Top Republican sparks outrage after playing dumb about Trump's ICE: 'Coward'

Source: Raw Story

January 27, 2026 10:28PM ET

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), sparked outrage on Tuesday after he seemed to play dumb about whether some of the actions of President Donald Trump's immigration forces are legal.

Igor Bobíc, senior politics reporter at HuffPost, posted on X that he tried asking Grassley whether it is appropriate for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to enter an American citizen's home without a judicial warrant. Last week, the Associated Press reported that ICE officers have been told they have the legal authority to enter people's homes without a warrant, sparking outrage from legal experts.

“Ask a constitutional lawyer,” said Grassley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee. “I'm a farmer.”

Grassley's comments happened at a time when Trump's immigration forces are facing increased scrutiny over their actions in Minneapolis.

EVERY article that mentions Grassley SHOULD BE prefaced with his age. I.e., "Chuck Grassley, age 92..." like they insist on doing with EVERY Democrat 80 and over.

from google
"In 2009, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) acknowledged during an appearance on C-SPAN's Washington Journal that he had been "living off the public tit" as a member of Congress. "

I thought he had mentioned a number of years, but it doesn't say that. He first took office in the Iowa house in 1959 or some 67 years ago

take an oath to uphold the constitution and not know anything about what it contains. These loons should be made to pass a test on the constitution before running for a federal position and then pass test at different times to continue to hold said office . That might let us also see if their mental state is still in shape to continue the job.

To make such a statement clearly shows the contempt which he holds toward us mere mortals.

to even offer a personal opinion on whether it's being enforced properly, then why the hell does he think he ever belonged in the Senate to begin with?
