"While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE," Lander's wife, Meg Barnette, wrote on X.
Because in New York City, a global megalopolis with one of the largest and most well-funded police departments in the country…can’t be arsed to provide police protection to its highest ranking elected officials.
Imagine if the NYPD tried to arrest Trump. Do you think the Secret Service would just let that happen? Yet state and local Democratic officials aren’t willing to actually use their legal power to protect themselves from unlawful arrest. These leaders should be under constant state or local police protection. But they’re so addicted to normalcy that they simply cannot bring themselves to take reasonable but unusual steps like this. They just can’t mentally handle it, so they let themselves go unprotected.
It should not be possible to arrest the Comptroller of the largest city in the country without first having to go through a whole bunch of local police officers.
But Democrats are cowards, so they let themselves be lead to the showers.
