Democrat Congressman Caught Smuggling & Harboring Illegal Alien In Their Office? | Drew Hernandez
Woke Rep. Seth Moulton, a Massachusetts Democrat, invited 19-year-old Brazilian-born immigrant Marcelo Gomes da Silva, who was previously detained by ICE after his student visa expired, to attend President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address as his guest. Gomes took his seat in the House visitors’ gallery, seemingly used as a political prop.
Midway through Trump’s speech, however, the Department of Homeland Security posted on X that Moulton was “planning to bring illegal alien Marcelo Gomes da Silva” and declared that he “has no right to be in our nation” and is subject to arrest and removal, echoing an earlier DHS message accusing Democrats of “planning to bring illegal aliens as guests to the State of the Union” and “putting illegal aliens above the safety of American citizens.” After seeing the post and noting the heavy law-enforcement presence in the chamber, Moulton’s chief of staff Neesha (also reported as Nisha) Suarez quietly escorted Gomes out of the gallery “out of an abundance of caution” and brought him back to the congressman’s office.
From there, the “special guest” watched the remainder of the address on television. Moulton has said he invited Gomes because he sees him as exactly the kind of young person the United States should be investing in, while DHS officials have insisted in interviews and statements that Gomes “is still an illegal alien and subject to removal proceedings.”
The clash unfolded against a broader backdrop in which several Democratic lawmakers — including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Sen. Dick Durbin, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, Rep. Mike Levin, Sen. John Hickenlooper and Rep. Robert Menendez Jr. — invited so-called “immigrants” caught up in enforcement operations or lacking legal status as their State of the Union guests, prompting DHS to circulate lists of what it called “illegal aliens” among their invitees. Conservative outlets and X accounts amplified DHS’s language, highlighting the agency’s claim that Democrats were favoring “illegal aliens” over public safety and praising the administration’s vow that such immigrants would be found, arrested and “never return.”
