Hopefully these are the political stunts that will force the reluctant hand of Attorney General Pam Bondi to intervene. Criminal arrests and federal prosecutions of politicians pulling these stunts are needed.
New York City Comptroller Brad Lander locked arms with an illegal alien as immigrations officials were removing the target for deportation. Lander purposefully interfered in a federal apprehension of a criminal alien, and should be prosecuted.
The media are selectively showing a portion of the video after Lander is handcuffed by police. However, in the earlier segment below you can clearly see Mr Lander intentionally locking arms with the target in an effort to stop ICE enforcement from taking custody. WATCH:

Judicial warrants are not required to apprehend and deport illegal aliens.
NEW YORK — New York City mayoral candidate Brad Lander was handcuffed and detained by federal agents Tuesday afternoon while escorting migrants from immigration hearings in Lower Manhattan.
Footage and video of the hectic incident is firing up the third-place candidate’s suddenly energetic campaign, as he shows himself taking on an issue that’s central to President Donald Trump’s political agenda.
“I’m not obstructing, I’m standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant,” the candidate says in the video.
Lander, the New York City comptroller, was at 26 Federal Plaza in downtown Manhattan on Tuesday morning to observe an immigration hearing when he walked out of the courtroom locking arms with a Yoruba-speaking immigrant, according to Lander’s wife, Meg Barnette. (more)

(He must be trailing in the polls and called his buddy Alex from California)
Side show… Ignore…
Oh YES they do have Authority! Stop the drama and LIES! As far as a warrant, YES there is a warrant for ILLEGALS THAT CAME HERE ILLEGALLY! It amazes me how DESPERATE the democrats are that they are TWISTING up the laws to their corrupt views.
Who’s Pam Bondi? Does she have her own show on FOX?
More commiedem clown shows. Citizens of NYC continue to take a dive into oblivion.
I’m sorry Sundance…but waiting for Pam Bondi to do something other than Fox shows is proving to be a waste of time….I’m totally unimpressed with her to date…..and that includes Kash and Dan Bongino. Maybe they are putting up a facade and have deeper things going on in the background…….but for some reason I don’t think so.
Sure hope I’m wrong……but instead of going in and doing what they should have…..it’s as though they have been absorbed by the beast….the creature of DC and are now…..part of the ugly too!
Personally, it is my belief that both Kash and Bongino (and perhaps Bondi as well) have been afflicted with that old cartel saying, “Do you want gold or lead?” Similar to the “Ya sure got a nice looking family there, be a shame if something happened to ’em” thingy. Just a thought.
They’re doing this crazy thing called working. Their job is not to personally inform Dave Hans of what they are doing around the clock. Sit down and be quiet.
He is a sick a-hole, but he is doing us a favor. America does not want and will not accept what he stands for. He is too dumb to realize that he he only strengthens the resistance against everything he stands for.
