What she's doing really has nothing to do with her as an employee, as an NYC detective," a police union source told The New York Post at the time. "She's not wearing NYPD paraphernalia. Nothing in the video says she's a detective. If she is performing for money, if she has a side gig, the job would want to know about that. The member would be obligated to file an off-duty employment application. I would say nothing she does in the video is the department's business.
"So I'm here now to try to understand better why the Bureau of Prisons is now playing along with the Department of Homeland Security's unlawful, illegal, and unconstitutional efforts to prevent me from doing my congressional oversight."
Video footage shows a staff member in Rep. Jerry Nadler's office being handcuffed by Federal Protective Service agents during a security check related to protests.
