Continued thread

2 people who were at the courthouse to monitor #ICE activity said the confrontation came after ICE officers threatened to #arrest them & other advocates, & a #Nadler staffer invited the advocates inside.

Nadler’s office is on the 6th floor in the same Varick Street building as federal #immigration court, which is on the 5th floor. The building also houses #DHS & other federal offices.

The police officer quoted makes a good point. I also understand why the police quickly identified the arrested man (a Liverpudlian) and later confirmed that he had been charged with driving while under the influence of drugs. Given the riots that have been at least encouraged by misinformation on identity.

But this could come back to bite.
