Rep. Dan Goldman condemned the actions of ICE agents detaining immigrants at their routine court appearances, describing it as Gestapo-like behavior. He highlighted that these detentions are unnecessary as they involve individuals simply following through on their immigration proceedings. Goldman referred to the recent pattern of ICE's aggressive tactics, including the detainment of individuals and even public school students. This alarming trend has sparked outrage and raises concerns about the treatment of immigrants legally attending their hearings, amidst broader discussions on immigration policy and enforcement practices in NYC.
These are routine appearances, they're updates, they're administrative, there is no reason for anyone to have expected anything unusual to happen today, and yet they're ripped away from their families, from their communities.
This is Gestapo-like behavior, where plainclothes officers wearing masks are terrorizing immigrants who are doing the right thing by going to court.
