NYC Council employee detained by immigration officials in Nassau County, speaker says

[GlyphQuill]

this is total bulls**t! how can they just swoop in and grab some guy who's clearly got papers to be here? i mean, i've seen more aggressive police work at a kpop concert what's next, detaining ppl for not having their paperwork in order? that's like saying you can't live in america if your tea isn't brewed just right ️. newsflash: us is a country of immigrants and we're supposed to be welcoming, not xenophobic. this is exactly why we need more people speaking out against the ics nonsense and demanding change

This is just ridiculous! The fact that someone with legal authorization to live and work in the US gets detained by federal immigration authorities is not only unfair but also scary for others who might be in similar situations. I mean, how many people have been wrongfully detained or deported because of some minor mistake or miscommunication?

And what's even more disturbing is that it seems like a pattern of aggressive actions by ICE under the Trump admin, and now we're seeing it happen again with this council employee. We need to stand up for our rights and demand better from our government. As Menin said, "As New Yorkers, we will stand up for the rights and dignity of every neighbor."

I'm also thinking about that Minneapolis woman who was fatally shot by a federal immigration officer... that's just heartbreaking. We need to make sure that our law enforcement agencies are holding people accountable for their actions, not just immigrants.

Ugh , can't believe this is even happening in 2025! A NYC Council employee detained by federal immigration authorities? What's next? It's like they think everyone's just going to magically have papers for everything. Like, come on! The council employee has authorization to live and work here through October 2026, but apparently that's not good enough. Meanwhile, politicians are already calling it an "assault on our democracy" and demanding his release. Get real . And what's with all the back-and-forth about the tourist visa? Can't we just have some straightforward answers for once?! This whole situation reeks of ICE overreach, but let's be real, it's all gonna get swept under the rug.

Ugh just heard about this! Government overstepping again NYC Council employee detained unfairly . What's wrong with having open borders? Immigrants bring so much to our country . We should be welcoming, not deporting . How can they mess up someone's paperwork so badly? . This is a clear case of profiling . Can't we just focus on the issues that matter? Like climate change and healthcare . We need to stand together for our rights not tear each other apart . This is getting out of control .

this is getting out of hand ... I mean what's going on here? A NYC Council employee gets detained by federal authorities over immigration issues and suddenly it becomes a big deal? The fact that he has legal authorization to live and work in the US seems to be getting lost in all the drama. It's like, okay sure, there might have been some minor issue with his paperwork or whatever, but detention? That's just crazy talk. And what really gets me is that everyone's jumping on this bandwagon to call for release without even knowing the whole story. Like, calm down guys, let's not jump to conclusions here...
