ICE arrests NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander.

They could show the removal order.

But they probably didn’t have one.

They were there to scoop up people who showed up to court trying to follow the law.
The judge had just granted the immigrant a non-removal order.

Unfortunately, as I understand it, there are two systems operating here. Apparently, even with a non-removal order, ICE can still arrest an immigrant. Arresting the comptroller is straight-up fascism.
 
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.

All ICE are bastards.

ICE is under no obligation to show the administrative warrant to anyone other than the detainee or their authorized representative. You are not an "authorized representative" just because you plant your hippie ass between ICE and the detainee.
 
Republicans have collectively decided they would have turned in Anne Frank. She broke the law. You cannot reason with them on this issue.
 
And that is a felony.

Not so much. One of the things to resisting or obstruction of a Federal Agent is you have to know it is a Federal Agent. A masked idiot without identification or even a badge number is possibly impersonating a cop, see the damned RW Trump Fanboy who was hunting Democrats in Wisconsin for the dangers of that.

So NYPD officers wear badges with numbers on them, as do pretty much all the other cops. Nametags are also worn to say I'm a cop, my name is Franklin, and my authority is now established.
 
If you see an immigrant stfu. Do not tell ICE a single thing. No matter what.
 
Is that what happened?

Shielding someone from unidentified people would seem to be perfectly legal, anyway.
Oh, so now you don't really know if these were ICE agents? At this point all you know is that some unidentified thugs tried to snatch some poor person off the street but you're going to blame it on ICE because....why?

ICE appears to be serving as Trump's personal thugs.

So, you don't know what happened, but you assert the law was violated. Easily dismissed.

I see the video of that female student getting grabbed on the street...if she'd had pepper spray, she would have had every right to defend herself from a possible assault/kidnapping.

Doesn't matter because administrative warrants hold no more authority than a dinner menu

even you must be able to see how ****ed up this is to come to court to arrest those in the system already.
No, based on your other posts today, you don't.
 
Apprehending people with removal orders
They don’t seem to have the paperwork handy

They are coming after the lowest hanging fruit those already in the system. Why not let that play out?

Oh, he knows what he's doing. He doesn't believe anything he posts. You have to decide how long you can do this before you get bored.

There's a ****ing video of what happened. It was posted in the article in the OP of this thread.

Look, feel free to ignore anything and everything that contradicts whatever opinion you have but ignoring the FACTS doesn't make your opinion rational.
 
Walking with immigrants is now cause for arrest and detention by ICE?

Under what law?
Under no law. Obstructing ICE arresting an undocumented alien is a crime.

18 USC 111

However, ICE officers are not authorized to arrest U.S. citizens. Another officer of the law would have to effect such an arrest.

That's not true. The administrative process is established by statute and the statute is established by congress. You can ignore the LAW all you like but ignorance isn't a valid basis for a rational opinion.
