Maybe it’s time to start throwing some real federal charges at these unhinged Sanctuary City New York wackos interfering with federal agents?
More than a dozen city officials arrested while protesting immigration crackdown
More than a dozen city officials and lawmakers, and dozens of other demonstrators, were arrested Thursday both inside and outside 26 Federal Plaza while protesting conditions at the building and President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in the city.
Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, state Sen. Julia Salazar, Assemblymember Phara Souffrant Forrest and members of the City Council were among those detained at the protest. (snip)
Others, including City Comptroller Brad Lander, were taken from the 10th floor of the plaza after trying to catch a glimpse of the conditions there.
All the officials have now been released. Lander and 10 others were given summonses for blocking the lobby and the foyer upstairs. They have a court date in November.
Defending illegal aliens, many of whom are serious criminals, seems like the hill they want to die on
(Newsweek) Thursday was Lander’s second time being detained at the facility, following an arrest in June.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Newsweek in a statement, in part, “Brad Lander’s obsession with attacking the brave men and women of law enforcement, physically and rhetorically, must stop NOW. The men and women of ICE put their lives on the line every day to arrest violent criminal illegal aliens to protect and defend the lives of American citizens. This type of rhetoric is contributing to the 1000% surge in assaults of ICE officers through this repeated vilification and demonization of ICE.”
Have they passed the point of not protesting peaceably? Sooner or later these protests are going to lead to serious violence, because the Democrat politicians and high end activists are whipping everyone up into a frenzy.
First Amendment:
Or as The Donnie describes it, The First Suggestion.
Sooner or later the federal police actions are going to lead to serious violence, because the MAGAt politicians and their national police are whipping everyone up into a frenzy.
The devolution of a nation happens slowly, the suddenly. You won’t see it until it happens!!
“Sooner or later the federal police actions are going to lead to serious violence, because the MAGAt politicians and their national police are whipping everyone up into a frenzy.”
The violence is all coming from the Left. Intentionally. Attempting to provoke a response. One of these days, they’re going to get one, and they won’t like it.
If the Left would just leave ICE alone to do their jobs, and quit starting violent confrontations and resign themselves to writing letters to the editor and to their elected officials, and rabble-rousing among themselves instead of rioting and interfering with law enforcement, everyone would agree that the First Amendment applies.
The key phrase is “peaceably assemble.” We all know that isn’t what the Left is doing.

LOL. Oh, you are serious?
You don’t get it do you? None of you. You don’t get it.
The police state is here. MAGAtonians feel the ONLY appropriate response to our immigration mess is secret arrest by jackbooted thugs, shipping the “criminals” to concentration camps without any “due process”.
You don’t get it. Never will.
“MAGAtonians”
Rimjob in Lala Land.
Delicious.
I see-as opposed to left’s feeling that the only appropriate response to the immigration mess is to let more illegals into the country? Got it
So, does this mean Town Council meetings will be held in cell block D for awhile?
