ICEholes dragged Chidozie Wilson Okeke out of his car in Brooklyn. Supposedly he had "previous arrests for assault and criminal drug possession.” They say he overstayed his visa. Could any of this be true? There may be some thread of truth in there but I strongly suspect it’s been heavily embellished.
"During his arrest, Okeke refused to comply with officers' lawful commands to exit the vehicle and weaponized his vehicle to attempt to hit ICE officers. Okeke became physically combative, attempting to punch and elbow ICE officers. Our officers followed their training and used the minimum amount of force necessary to make the arrest," the ICE spokesperson said, adding that Okeke requested medical assistance.

Is this like when Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin claimed that “this individual (Renee Good) was impeding law enforcement and weaponized her vehicle in an attempt to kill or cause bodily harm to federal law enforcement.” You know, this is the same Ms. Good who was shot three times by ICEhole Jonathan Ross as she was pulling away from him – remember? Ms. McLaughlin also hilariously claims that ICEholes are trained to use minimal force to resolve dangerous situations. Sure and I’m a Balanchine trained principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre. Absolutely. 🙄
And the Lord of Lies said that Good “ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self-defense.” NOTHING they say can be believed.
Back to Brooklyn though…
Somehow Okeke was injured while being abducted by ICE (I know, you’re shocked 🙄), so much so that they actually took him to an emergency room instead of just toting him off to some holding cell before zooming him off to some Southern state concentration camp.
A protest quickly formed outside the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center and the NYPD were called (undoubtedly by ICE.)
“Upon arrival, officers observed numerous individuals acting in a disorderly manner, obstructing vehicular traffic, and blocking emergency entrances and exits at Wyckoff Heights medical center,” the police said.

The NYPD said it was not involved in the federal immigration operation and only responded to the scene after receiving 911 calls about the crowd, saying they received initial reports that there were about 200 protesters. (source)
Mayor Mamdani said the NYPD did not coordinate with ICE.
Our laws leave nothing, no room for interpretation, about the fact that our NYPD will not participate in civil immigration enforcement, and I’ve also been very clear about my views on ICE raids as a whole. I think that they are cruel, I think that they are inhumane and I think that they do not serve any interests of public safety. (source)
So, were the NYPD just doing a crowd-control type operation and NOT violating the city’s sanctuary laws? LOVE Mamdani but I have serious doubts about what the NYPD were up to.
I am in support of abolishing ICE, and I'll tell you why: Because what we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist
We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some sort of immigration law, but instead, what it is doing is terrorizing people no matter their immigration status, no matter the facts of the law, and no matter the facts of the case.And I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home and dragged out of their life. What we need to see is humanity. (source)
Mr. Mayor, I wholeheartedly agree!
