ICE arrested a US citizen in an immigration court.

That US citizen is the NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate.

Reports are also that Lander’s NYPD security was also arrested.

This is a reminder that ICE has no authority over US citizens.

If they don’t want to look like the gestapo… they should stop doing gestapo like things.

Lander said he remains committed to showing up for immigrant families in court and encouraged peaceful protest.

They are a version of the Gestapo, just a pale sad one.

Take that up with the OP.

What specifically were their official duties? Throwing their weight around? Doing whatever they damn well please?

Apprehending people with removal orders

 

[Jezcoe]

It’s obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting.

Aiding and abetting what?

How can justice be obstructed when there isn’t an arrest warrant?

ICE doesn’t require a warrant.

It appears he was arrested for demanding to see a warrant.

Apprehending people with removal orders

They could have shown the removal orders.

They could have identified themselves.

None of that happened.

LMFAO. Look at that face!

 

[Lutherf]

They could have easily presented a warrant.

Guess what they didn’t have.

They also have no authority to arrest US citizens.

I don't see where they arrested any citizen. Detention pursuant to an investigation IS NOT arrest.

 

[Jezcoe]

It appears he was arrested for demanding to see a warrant.

Yeah. Full black mask isn’t gestapo or nothing.

They could have shown the removal orders.

They could have identified themselves.

None of that happened.

They don’t have to identify themselves or present identification to Brad Lander.

 

[Jezcoe]

Unlawful detention.

ICE has no authority over US citizens.

Unlawful detention.

False.

Reminds me of our history.

WoMag Flashback: The Slave Catcher's Riot — How a slave trader came to Worcester, and got chased back to Boston

The riot that almost became a lynching took place the day before Halloween. But three days before the riot that was almost a lynching, there was the flier: LOOK OUT FOR KIDNAPPERS!

I really have no idea how your head manages to get certain places.

They don’t have to identify themselves or present identification to Brad Lander.

Are you seriously saying that law enforcement do not have to identify themselves to the citizenry?

 

[Pyrite]

Take that up with the OP.

I don't have to. Fox isn't a credible source.

Back to my point that a third party's assumption re another person's "intent" is not admissible in court: got a comment about this?

 

[Napoleon]

I don't have to. Fox isn't a credible source.

You do if that is your position.

I suppose the conservative movement's descent into a pathetic bunch of complete book licks was predictable.

Yes.

Worse: trump and his Administration minions are saying that law enforcement agents do not have to identify themselves to the citizenry.

 

[Lutherf]

Unlawful detention.

ICE has no authority over US citizens.

That's not at all true. When anyone interferes with their lawful duties they have the authority to detain and refer for prosecution.

 

[Jezcoe]

Professional law enforcement wear their baseball caps backwards.

 

[Napoleon]

Are you seriously saying that law enforcement do not have to identify themselves to the citizenry?

I am seriously saying they have no legal obligation to indulge the curiosity of some rando interfering with the performance of their duties.

And that idiot in standing on the Senate floor right now explaining to everyone what a blithering idiot he is and how, as a Senator, how being such an idiot is integral to his job.
