Trump goons arrest another politician, laws be damned
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Tuesday arrested New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who is also a Democratic mayoral candidate. Lander’s arrest is the latest in a string of Trump administration attacks on elected officials, but appears to be the first arrest carried out by ICE agents. Sure, ICE doesn’t have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens, but an administration that already illegally deployed troops in Los Angeles and is letting them illegally arrest people doesn’t care about such niceties.
