While Donald J. Trump is making war noises toward Iran, Americans are dealing with a war on U.S. soil: mass deportations. Donald’s border Czar Tom Homan has made veiled threats to arrest Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. A Democratic mayor was detained. A union leader was arrested during a protest. A Democratic U.S. Senator was roughed up for asking Kristi Noem a question.
And today, masked federal agents swarmed New York City Comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander at an immigration court. He was handcuffed and arrested after trying to accompany an individual, who had their case dismissed pending appeal earlier in the day, out of a courtroom.
Lander yelled to the agents, “Show me your warrant! Show me your badge!” In a video, Lander says, “I’m not obstructing. I’m standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant.
“You don‘t have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant,” Lander added.
Lander’s campaign spokesperson confirmed the arrest.
