Yes: #Gillibrand publicly and enthusiastically endorsed #EricAdams in 2021, after his primary win, and spoke out on his behalf, despite her claims today that she didn't intervene in past NYC mayoral races. Has she never heard of Google?

Yes, but that call should probably wait until the Wednesday after the first Tuesday of November

Doesn't he know that anyone criticizing Trump in public can be reported to ICE and threatened with deportation?

Greatly respect your advocacy on behalf of NYC immigrants targeted by ICE, and appalled by your manhandling by ICE agent, but surprised by your (literally) ill-advised repeated demand that the agents produce 'judicial warrants' which are required only for entry to private homes & workplaces.

Though his arrest was legally indefensible, Lander's demands that agents produce a 'judicial warrant' to justify detention of an immigrant he was 'escorting' at the time betray surprising ignorance of US immigration law, which required such warrants only to enter private homes & workplaces.

Tackling and handcuffing Lander was reprehensible, but ICE agents don't need a 'judicial warrant' to detain someone in a government building or other public place who (they contend) is obstructing enforcement actions against non-citizens who (they contend) have broken immigration laws or other laws

The ICE Gestapo is lawless, emboldened and totally out of control. Snatching US citizens, assaulting elected representatives and terrorising communities. Fascism laid bare.

Yep, that was the quid pro quo for having his felony corruption charges dropped

“You don’t have the authority to arrest US citizens asking to see a judicial warrant” —Brad Lander just now as he is being handcuffed by ICE.

The infuriatingly clueless & arrogant stealth endorsement of Cuomo proves the NYT should have stuck to that 2024 edict, as its current Ed Board lacks the political & historical understanding of New York City that was once a job requirement for thevTimes editorial team

I think the big thing is that the Times has given up on local reporting and coverage of hard NYC news is dying in general. Everything is done for national-level clicks, and in that the Times panders to one set of suburbanites; the rest are for the NY Post. The Daily News scrapes by, barely.
