A menacing video threatening the lives of Northern Ireland elected lawmakers who are allegedly ignoring the flood of illegal aliens and the destruction of Christian culture is sparking an investigation by police.

A group calling itself the New Republican Movement posted the video showing three armed and masked men in front of an Irish flag complaining about “the level of disrespect shown to the people who put you into power.”

“This cannot be ignored any longer,” one man reads from a prepared statement. “We are proud men of Ireland. We are patriots. Your policies and decision-making in regards to flooding our community with undocumented, military-age men is not acceptable.

“We will not sit back any longer and watch our culture and religion destroyed by the people we put in power. Also, the sexual indoctrination of our children in schools has not gone unnoticed either.

“The New Republican Movement will take immediate action against anyone who threatens our ways of life and the safety of our women and children. We have your addresses and know your movements. Every one of you are legitimate targets as of today.”

The threats were made against officials in Newry, Mourne and Down, where the District Council voted in September to become a designated “Council of Sanctuary,” similar to American “sanctuary cities” acting as a safe haven for refugees and asylum seekers.

Police Supt. Lynne Corbett said: “It is completely unacceptable that anyone should face such threats and intimidation for carrying out the duties of the office to which they have been democratically elected.

“We have commenced an investigation to identify those responsible.

“Police in Newry, Mourne and Down will continue engaging closely with our local elected representatives and will do all we can to ensure they feel supported and safe in our communities, and that they can undertake their role free from intimidation.”

The member of Parliament for the area, Sinn Féin’s Daire Hughes, said “faceless thugs” were engaged in “an attack on democracy,” according to BBC News.

“Let me by crystal clear, these faceless thugs represent no one and they will not deter me or my party colleagues from carrying out our work, every day, representing our constituents,” he said.

“Despite bombs planted at our offices and chilling threats made through social media, Sinn Féin will continue to stand up for our people.

“I send solidarity to each of my elected colleagues across our constituencies. Let us stand as one against these deluded individuals.”

Diane Forsythe, a member of the Legislative Assembly with the Democratic Unionist Party blasted the “sinister” video as “vile and cowardly,” BBC reported.

“It is an attack on all who serve their communities, regardless of background or party. It seeks to drag Northern Ireland back to a dark past that the vast majority have rejected. Our children should not be seeing this on their newsfeeds.”

She added “unionist representatives in this area have faced years of sectarian abuse and intimidation.

“These masked men represent no one. They will not silence the democratic voice of the people of South Down. The DUP will continue to stand firm. We will serve without fear, and defend the right of everyone to participate in public life.”
