ICE

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander has been handcuffed while visiting an immigration court:

"You don't have the authority to arrest a US Citizen asking for a judicial warrant"

 
Trump has backtracked on his backtrack on immigration raids on farms. I can't keep up anymore. I guess TACO tacoed out in the middle of his taco.

 
JUST NOW: Alex Padilla gives his first speech on the Senate floor since being handcuffed last week: “The president will tell you this is just about targeting dangerous violent criminals. If it was just about targeting dangerous, violent criminals there would be no disagreement. But we know differently, public data released by the administration shows that the majority of immigrants currently in ice custody have no prior criminal conviction”
 
JUST NOW: New York Governor Kathy Hochul speaks on the arrest of Brad Lander: “You want to know what I really think? It’s bullshit. How dare they take an elected official who’s been going down there for weeks to escort people who are afraid to walk into a courthouse in the United States of America. What the hell is happening to this country?”

 
HAPPENING NOW: Protesters have gathered outside the NYC Federal Court building where Brad Lander was arrested by masked ICE agents today (Video: @newyorkcitypeople)
 
Abbott's border wall, the one that he crowed on about relentlessly, and how Biden was at fault for not continuing to build it, remember? He's quiting building it after only 8% of the original plan has been completed


 
“ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.”

-Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
 
NEW: Today House Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi and Jonathan Jackson from Illinois were DENIED entry into the South Loop ICE facility in Chicago: “We went to ask questions and perform congressional oversight of potential illegal ICE activities as Donald Trump's administration targets immigrant communities. More to come.”
