Immigrants are America’s workers. They’re vital to our communities, our country and our labor movement. An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.

I guess it's official now. The only federal court the Trump administration believes it has to obey is the Supreme Court and even then, they'll "see."

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

Someone please identify for me anywhere within the video he assaulted the officers. Actual assault of an officer is a serious issue. No one is disputing that. I don't see it in the video, though.

Back in February, Emil Bove claimed that Eric Adams even facing prosecution amounted to election interference in the NYC Mayoral primary. And then, today, Kristi Noem's goons detained Brad Lander DURING the election. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/17/k...

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Padilla gave this speech on the floor pretty much as the news of Brad Lander's arrest in New York was breaking. Two Democratic lawmakers tackled and handcuffed by federal law enforcement in the span of a week.

Based on how these men are dressed how would you know who they are, who they are working for, what their authority is? No badges, no uniforms, at lease some are without masks this time.

These ICE goons are completely out of control. Arresting US Citizens, elected officials, and terrorizing our communities. Comptroller Lander was simply asking for the warrant.

Masked federal agents just illegally arrested New York City’s elected Comptroller. Outrageous. The Trump Administration went after Brad Lander for asking this simple question: “Do you have a warrant?” By asking this question, Brad was standing up for the basic rights of all Americans.

“What is the draw anymore if the mission is rooted in who the president is and your job can be taken without warning or process?” the Labor attorney asked. “Who in their right mind will ever take a gamble on a government job again?”

A powerful message to opposition leaders, dissidents, cooperators, operatives and allies in Iran, Russia, and around the globe. After you are done risking your life to help us, we will sell you out and screw you over. Because the current govt will use you and discard you.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Last night, @bradlander.bsky.social and I exposed Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace on the debate stage. With early voting starting tomorrow, we're cross-endorsing to defeat the ex-Gov. and win a city everyone can afford. Rank Brad #2!

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

The main question here is whether Alina Habba should not be struck off the rolls of persons authorized to practice law. The charges against McIver are baseless and rest on a tissue of conscious lies. The purpose of the prosecution is to intimidate Americans concerned about the misconduct of ICE.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?
