It's cool when a member of Congress says there's no point in standing up to the bully who is literally taking our tax money.

While I’m glad Commissioner Tisch let Ricky Patel (Special Agent in Charge at HSI) know that she’s not happy with their raids, I’m disturbed by footage of NYPD officers clearing the way for ICE vehicles. It’s a violation of our sanctuary city law to facilitate deportations.

Props to the protestors who the New York Times credits for foiling ICE’s intended raid in Chinatown earlier today.
So many people are showing they know what it means to be New Yorkers!

ICE is continuing to engage in reckless and unwarranted militarized operations.
Today’s confrontation didn't protect a single person but instead unnecessarily put New Yorkers, federal agents, and NYPD in harm’s way.
Make no mistake: any chaos and violence in NYC involving ICE is instigated by ICE.

90s VR Cyberpunk at its most dirtiest and grittiest. Hard Sci-Fi that hits harder nowadays for a lot of reasons.
THIS is BOTH the James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow that I want more of: Pure action junkies with an edge.
