Anonymity is unacceptable for any law enforcement personnel (except perhaps undercover sting operations). No more masks for ICE. NO MORE MASKS!

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

ICE is using racial profiling and it was completely predictable. ICE (basically): “If they’re brown…we’ll hunt them down!”

I’m still surprised that in a nation drowning in guns and “stand your ground” rationalizations, none of these masked kidnappers have been shot at yet.

I started volunteering as an immigration court watcher after reading an article about Brad Lander doing it. So much respect to him and all the folks standing up to bear witness and get in the way.

Padilla: The President, VP, and their allies have continued to call all the protesters out there insurrectionists. Yes, this is the same man who provoked an actual insurrection at our capitol on January 6.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

if lander gets charged with resisting or assaulting an officer, remember that the vast majority of these charges are completely made up. cops use them to instill fear and they've been woven into the plea negotiation framework that our criminal legal system operates on for decades.

@bradlander.bsky.social has been regularly doing accompaniments and volunteering as a legal observer. ICE clearly singled him out to punish him for bringing attention to what they are doing. This is political persecution.

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was forcibly detained inside an immigration court building Tuesday morning by masked federal agents as he attempted to escort a man from his court appearance there. In the chaotic scene at around noon, Lander asked the agents repeatedly to show a judicial warrant.

Trump raked in $57M from his family's crypto company in 2024. And this doesn't even account for his memecoin, which launched this year. Now he's lending his name to "Trump Mobile," a new wireless phone service launched by the Trump Organization. The grift never ends.

Asked if he’s called Gov. Tim Walz after the Minnesota shootings—carried out by one of his own supporters—Trump snaps: “I’m not calling him. He’s a mess. Why waste time?” No remorse. No leadership. Just deflection and insults.

I think one of the reasons you hear so much visceral anger coming from Dems about politics these days is bc for years now we’ve been expected to respond with dignity and respect (which we do) when political violence touches the GOP. But when it touches us - we get the Mike Lee’s of the world.
