@repdangoldman.bsky.social, addressing reporters about 4 US citizens held overnight at 26 Federal Plaza, says the NYPD should arrest ICE agents for excessive force. He also announced a new task force, but no details on who will be on it or how it will meaningfully assist people targeted by ICE

Mamdani slammed Andrew Cuomo for omitting Trump (and James’s) name in his statement reacting to the charges, saying the former gov “cannot speak his name lest he has permission already to do so” b/c his narrow path to City Hall is paved by the same billionaires who put him back in the White House

To clarify first post: the 11 were arrested on the 10th floor, where detainees have reported being treated like animals. SDNY Judge Kaplan has ordered the Trump admin to improve conditions.

“No elected official or other oversight agency has been allowed in to see it,” said @bradlander.bsky.social

State Sen Jabari Brisport says federal agents on the 10th floor “zip tied the doors closed and then used duct tape to cover any cracks for people to see.”

“And then, they laughed.”
