Federal agents in jeans and trainers? Really? Should that be "Federal agents"?

Election interference.

It looks like they are assaulting him.

I want the law enforcement office to prove who he is. Nobody knows who these guys are. Are they "Law Enforcement Officers"? Or are they Tom Homan and Kristi Noem cheap labor J6r's who can't get a job anywhere else?

That’s what I think. Trump pardoned the Proud Boys then hired them as ICE goons

They are saying Padilla assaulted law enforcement officers. Prove it!

Can we ask the Canadian military to come to defend the American people from these fascists??? Can governors activate their state's national guard to chase those thugs out of their states???

It will be a photo used in court to prosecute.

Who will stop this? Fascism is HERE.

Apparently nobody. The people in the government and in the military that CAN stop this are all sitting on their asses waiting for someone else to do it

It's not enough if the pic is searchable. There needs to be Nuremberg style trials to hold the American Gestapo accountable.

One of many millions…

I think I see how he lost a button.

Look at those no-good “tough guy” bastards piling on to an unarmed NYC candidate for Mayor 😡

Again with the face mask.

Why was he detained!? WTF is going on?? First potential war with Iran, now this!?

I found at - went to The Guardian www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

I came to these comments to see if I could find out about why he was being detained..

1/4 This might help explain it. “On Tuesday, Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller, was arrested at an immigration court in Lower Manhattan, the latest lawmaker to be swept up in the protests against the administration’s immigration raids and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

Thank you for explaining 🙏

My pleasure.

2/4 “He was trying to escort a migrant whom agents were seeking to arrest.” Mr. Lander, a candidate in the Democratic primary for mayor, was seen in a video posted to his personal account on X being placed in handcuffs and led into an elevator”

3/4 “by men in plain clothes wearing backward baseball caps and surgical masks.” A few of the men wore vests that read “police federal agent.” “You don’t have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens,” Mr Lander said repeatedly, while being jostled by the men.”

ICE 🧊 is melting 🫠 away… It’s projected that by July, there will be no 👎 more funds available for those loveable 😒 ICE 🧊 agents. So how are you going to fund your ICE 🧊 Cream 🍨 🍦 Agents, Trump 🧐? www.axios.com/2025/06/16/i...

Those Spirit Halloween 🎃 👻 ICE 🧊 Agents of yours WILL NOT 👎 work for FREE 😒. You could… Sell your own Bitcoins? Sell Elon’s Teslas on your garage sale lawn again? Because Congress won’t like 👎 wasteful spending. WOW… You DID NOT think 🤔 this thoroughly, DID YOU, Trump 😒?

4/4 A spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security said that Mr. Lander, who was held for several hours and then released, had assaulted and impeded a law enforcement officer, though federal prosecutors did not bring charges on Tuesday.” NY Times A. Hassan 17Jun25

Unbelievable.

Please consider signing my petition:

Are these the images the White House continues to love and continues to think are political winners?

Important to remember Lander had previously found Noem guilty of huge financial fraud. He was targeted as a reprisal.

It’s like the Jan 6 insurrectionists just got the keys to the kingdom. Never seen anything look so much like 1933 Germany.

In South America during the days of Plan Condor these people came as "contractors" and moles in green Falcons.

Just curious if we can identify those that, I believe illegally, detained him? Can we ask their family, neighbors, etc. what they think of their actions?

Who TF is the guy in the white t-shirt and 90s jeans and dirty sneakers? looks like a Proud Boy to me.

@gtconway.bsky.social legal advice please.. when congress flips should there be a hearing into whether these 2 guys talked before this arrest.. just wondering .. i mean what do you call it when 2 people come together to commit a crime?

Conspiracy to commit an illegal arrest and violate 1A.

I’d like to see a lot more attention paid to the physical attacks happening. People have been trampled by horses, shot with rubber bullets in the head, and manhandled and thrown to the ground. I’d like people to start posting the bruises, the injuries, the long lasting effects these abuses are doing

Its a little too Weekend at Bernie's

How are they allowed to do that ? I truly don’t understand American systems.

We in America are confused and astonished as well. Its mind boggling this all continues to escalate with no end in sight.

This is such bs! Why is no one stopping these types of actions?

If they attempt to take someone and they're not identifying themselves in any way, then I feel like the "stand your ground" law should be in order for the person/loved ones being illegally kidnapped/detained.

👆💯

Red hats = Browshirts…and masks = secret police/gestapo I mean, they really do and you have to be blind not to see it - or in a cult…

Masked, plain clothes, won’t show judicial warrant, strong armed into handcuffs and “disappeared” into an elevator. All in front of witnesses. Yup, I’m so glad we are living in these “winning” times! 🤬

Who are these thugs?😠

ICE

As a Brit, this scene appals me. In the UK, my response would be to call 999 and report an illegal abduction in progress. I believe they would respond.

As an American, this scene is repulsing…

The #Irony after the controller was held without his phone first 3.5 hours in detention, is he went on Chris Hayes show and said of his arresting officers were immigrants. NYC has 40-60% immigrant population with many working for the state and federal govt.

It will appear in the history books.

Look at the goon in civilian on the left with the mask. It's done on purpose, of course, to make everyone doubt about the guy next to them.

If they attempt to take someone and they're not identifying themselves in any way, then I feel like the "stand your ground" law should be in order for the person/loved ones being illegally kidnapped/detained.

💯

Sure as shit don’t look like any federal agents I’ve ever seen

Assault by unidentified, unbadged, facial covered dudes is mega concerning.

Disgusting 🤬

Yes in how the modern daily goon theatrics brings down the house not in applause but in dismay ?

Total abuse of power!!!

That’s not ice, those are hired thugs. Kristi Noem hired insurrectionists from Jan 6th to fill quota. We are Nazi Germany circa 1930s.

HMM…WHEN IS THE NEXT NO KINGS PROTEST? TOMORROW?

Beloved neighbours disappear for good and end up in detention camps to be treated inhumanely. No, the scenario does not recapture the Third Reich but 21st century American politics under Trump‘s autocracy!

The Future Is Now

Oh, the banality of evil.

#FDT

If this administration truly believes it is carrying out a legal mandate, why the masks?

Trump's funeral is gonna be such a happy day.

Yup

😭

😪

No one will believe they are federal agents with no uniforms, no badges, no ID. It looks like a gang mugging.

ICE with hard ons for facism

Bluesky, you know what to do. We need to start getting names to out these right-wing nazis.

Why? Did our grandparents stop Nazis and ask for their names?

Certainly not during Operation Paperclip! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...

The Nazis didn't cover their faces. The survivors IDed them later.

No, but we found out their names later, and persecution ensued. Just like we should here. Only we do not have to wait until ICE/CBP hostilities cease.

It is SO WRONG, that here in the USA "law enforcement" is hiding behind masks!!

No, mine just shot them. (North Africa and Palermo)

Fact: you won't be able to search the word fascism in the future if things go on like now.

How did America go from the Lunar Lander to the Brad Lander?

I just cannot fathom how fast he destroyed our nation

Show everywhere.

www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Such utter bullshit

Wait - are those tattoos on the Ice agent?

This poster too www.yahoo.com/news/proud-b...

And this is exactly the kind of pictures his people love. It's not fascism to them, it's strong leadership.

You're wrong. It only looks like strong leadership if they're attacking Democrats. If that were a Republican politician, it would be all kinds of bad, bad, bad

Trump supporters are living in a "propaganda bubble." An outrageous lie will be created to go along with this photo, GOP elected officials will ALL adopt the LIE. The MAGA faithful do NOT care if it's fact or fiction. If it feeds the narrative they need to stay with Trump, they "love" it!

Well put. Things that support the propaganda bubble are true and things that don't are liberal media bias. Mark Twain once said it's easier to con someone than convince them they've been conned. So here we are.

Just awful

This is what you are going to see the next 1000 years. And the big Dem motormouths are to experience now.

American gestapo

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

All he did was say “papers please” See what I did?

And students will wonder why the guy on the left is wearing a medical mask. And why the thugs arresting him are immigrants themselves.

i want to acknowledge this photo but to "heart" it sends the wrong message. Hey @bsky.app - Why don't you create a thumbs down for us in addition to the ❤️???

Yes!!!

I look at the heart as being thankful the person posted this so we can be informed. It’s like an acknowledgment of sorts.

I like that way of looking at it.

I see peoples comments, and I like or agree I give that comment a heart. I never looked at it any other way.

Agree 100%

Because it would seem as if you are disagreeing with the author much the same.

I guess that’s true also. Still feels wrong to heart a violent picture.

Domestic terrorism by a hired mercenary army.... Erik Prince???

As a lifelong Republican (no longer), I grew up believing Democrats were ushering in totalitarian government (The road to serfdom). Turns out Republicans welcome big evil government with thunderous applause.

None of those people violently detaining him look like law enforcement - right down to their shoes. Someone needs to detain some of these ICE guys.

Identify the cunts who did it and CANCEL THEM.

Yes.

Somebody knows these pieces of shit, let’s start putting names to these faces.

He asked for ID and a warrant by a judge. This is illegal.

Where are New york police? They should start to arrest these thugs.

He’ll be ok. The really sad pic was the arrest of the young man Lander had been escorting to immigration Court. Every Catholic in America should be outraged by this.

Didn’t the Churches vote in favor of the orange haired buffoon? And they still get tax breaks

Yup. Fascism. It's not just that, it's the freedom for police et al. to treat people as things and that they **revel in it**.

How many people does it take to bring down 1 unarmed man, in a suit no less?

How many ICE goons does it take to detain someone?? Aside from the fact that they are illegally detaining and kidnapping people, they are doing it in such a physically unnecessary over-the-top display of aggression. It infuriates me

I wondered that too. Why so many? It’s weird.

And it's always a struggle, even though it's 3 or 4 against 1.

These ICE Insurrectionist are doing Trump dirty work today but he will turn on them tomorrow. Just read his BBB tax and spend bill. Republicans are stealing from the working class and poor to keep the wealth imbalance for years to come. Foolish ass MAGA people support his sorry as. PATHETIC

Just some guys in t-shirts and jeans arresting people.

This is an NY mayoral candidate they are arresting right?

youtu.be/WKZ6_IF0m9M?...

Deliver the same treatment to every elected Republican you encounter anywhere!

Has anyone heard from Schumer?

This is Night of the Long Knives, from the Adolf Hitler in slow motion. Killing and roughing up political opponents. It gets worse.

Trump is now babbling on about nothing for 30 minutes in Rose Garden during his new flag poles ceremony..!!🤡🤣😎🇺🇸

Trump is droning on about gibberish in front of hard hats..!!🖕🦨🇺🇸

it is a gang molestation

Same ⤵️

She is only 12 years old! The hate-filled monster shot her mom 8 times. Her mom covered her and protected her from the bullets. Her dad was shot 9 times. 😢 They are lucky to be alive. Prayers for them 🙏

Elected officials have been reduced to trolls, what a time to be alive 🙄

We know that neither of those MN elected Democrats are trolls. I’m sure you meant something else.

Apologies for the misunderstanding, mike lee and the GQP have become the trolls.

Mike Lee is also a fucking mormon! The cult I escaped from!

I knew what he said & he is trash, but how heartbreaking to hear how it continues to get worse as more details come out. Never heard about the daughter. 💔

He needs to be removed 😡

beyond evil

And GOP downfall.

JFC, WHATEVER

Let’s keep good records to be able to charge these people with crimes against humanity in the upcoming 21st century version of the 1945/1946 Nuremberg Tribunal Trials. It may not end well for them.

Another reason see my comment above, another reason women choose a bear over a random man in the woods.

Why women choose the bear in the woods.

This is pretty bad and sad. These guys were given instructions to man handle everyone? What are they - out of work bouncers? How did other administrations manage to deport more ppl with no fanfare and cruelty?!

From now on these agents need to be addressed as "alleged ICE" and it may be beneficial for the people that are being targeted by them to call 911 for possible attempted kidnapping, since there is no proof that these are legal law enforcement detaining you. Plus there will be a record of the call.

Recycled Jan6er bounty hunters.

And all these cowards covering their faces, you all are getting paid, and there is a record of your payment and the actions you are partaking in. So when the time comes and you're on trial, they will be able to locate you as needed.

I have feeling every unemployed proud boy has now been hired by ICE.

Thugs and goons in our midst. This is insane

ICE = Domestic Terrorists

...or search for MAGA.

Well, if he’s successful this picture will be as hard to find in the US as Tiananmen Tank Man is in China.

Homeland security was created in 2002 after 9/11. Ice is their federal law enforcement. They do have police like power, but not against US citizens. Except in some situations. Like illegal trafficking immigrants. Their duties are too broad and too vague. Congress needs to rein them in.

This kidnapping people no warrants no due process locking them up In unhealthy conditions ! This is criminal ! The criminals are Ice Stephen Miller et al! This is not a Third. World. Country It is becoming one!!

Are these bros even ICE? It’s giving rogue…

Ok ,why in the actual fuk isnt everyone else in that room jumping on these bastards and knocking them to the floor!!! Self-defense! Period! We need to move past recordings and handle the damn matter at hand on the spot! This is crossing way too many lines here!!!

Are these just random guys manhandling him???

The real purpose of the scrum was to see who gets the bonus.

Don’t each of these recycled Jan6er bounty hunters get the full $1500 or do they split it?

To me, they look like a gang.

Uh...who's assaulting who??

It’s abt time afrall we R the United States of America 🇺🇸 . Aren’t we ?! PPL of the USA 🇺🇸 MUST DO EVERYTHG POSSBL to get ready to VOTE in Midterm Elections 2026 ! just for the sake of CHILDREN in USA 🇺🇸 , if U gave up 4 yr own alrdy, to knock off ✊ GOP-Congress’ MAJORITIES in US House, n Senate…. ‼️

Yes so true

It's so sad that so many Federal law enforcement officers are willing to zealously do a wannabe dictator's dirty work.

They are thugs. They aren't trained LE. They are 🍊💩 goons.

ICE is operating outside the law. Everyone can see it. Why can’t every governor that objected to how they are operating just cut off the power and water to their factories.

bsky.app/profile/alli...

By now the thugs penalty are identified.

He may be our future mayor. Is that why they focused on him?

Bingo.

When is the next protest day?

He'll, I can see this in the history books.

None of those motherfuckers in that picture are Native Americans, so they are all FUCKING IMMIGRANTS! Can't wait for them to try it on a guy on his last fucking nerve, and he pulls out a giant samurai sword and motions like Morpheus..

Brad is identified. Why not the tRUmp GOONS who illegally south him up and arrested him? Let’s make them famous, George. WHO ARE THESE MISCREANTS?

*roughed him up

Uh, and I thought I learned a new slang 😄 Anyway, the US goes south very quickly.

Tennessean here and I was (and remain) completely prepared to jump on board with "southing up" someone as slang.

FACIST PIGS.

Look of horror on the woman's face in the corner. THIS IS OUR AMERICA? NO And we're all done btw.

Don’t tell me that you don’t see this as a political stunt by a flailing campaign?

Even if it was, it’s still fucking reprehensible

True

How is anyone supposed to look at those men and not think "thugs"

At the rate things are going, nobody is going to be able to actually research anything ever again in the kingdom. “The end of history” seems to fit.

Who ARE these thugs?

TRump’s Jan 6 Insurrectionists!

The we will show all of those “cops” mugshots

Who ARE these men? We need to know ASAP!

👆👆👆👆

Recycled Jan6ers. Not actually agents. Just bounty hunters.

To the men in the picture: why are you doing this? Do you realize you’re acting like Nazis? Like the brutal police in the 70s? You were not on the good side of history. Your children will see this picture and their children. Get out while you can.

California WILL pass the "No Secret Police Act"! I'm not sure how they plan to enforce it, but at least we are not putting up with His shit!!

I don't see a single uniform, badge, nothing here on these thugs. WHERE is the proof they're even allowed to do this?

Who are these masked armed bullies?? This is not legal ! We must stop this cruelty!! Stephen Miller is mot elected and should be investigated! He is a monster !

Totally agree!

Some of those agents are immigrants. Lander stated this in his interview with @chrislhayes.bsky.social He learned this while talking with them during his detention. www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch...

Is that Asian guy thinks that he is exempt from what's coming if we continue this way?

It's the only way we can get MAGAts to wear masks.

THIS WILL STOP

No Ice, No KKK, No Fascist USA! bsky.app/profile/patr...

He’s not resisting yet he’s getting manhandled, shoved and grappled by people who are clearly not trained in the basics of law enforcement.

It will be erased They’re be no researching

Itching to know Black Noir's identity.

If I lived in NYC, I’d vote for this guy for mayor. I’ll vote for anyone who proves without a doubt he’s trying to help his constituents.

AP US History is going to be the most exciting class in school 🫤

A future edition of LIFE - (21st CENTURY IN PICTURES) is not going to be flattering.

A bunch of lawless thugs masquerading as law enforcers 🫩😡

Random masked thugs isn't law enforcement. Organize and defend yourselves

Not a single person manhandling the comptroller looks like a professional federal officer, more like MAGA thugs hired to attack anyone that questions the actions of the Trump regime.

We need to identify these thugs and dox them absolutely.Especially the guy standing in the background who's just staring at it, and not doing a d*** thing to stop it

that person in the background could be a female???

My god, it s hard to believe this is happening

Kidnapped

open.substack.com/pub/eleanors... #BradLander #ICERaids #immigrantrights

Let’s start identifying the ICE agents that aren’t wearing masks and putting out information on who they are.

Identify these facist fucks and start indictments.

How do we know they are federal agents? They look like bros coming in from the local tavern.

They may be.

When I see these outrageous acts, I think I have abandoned all hope and have only despair left. Then a little glimmer lights in my mind’s eye and I imagine a kung fu master laying waste to The ICE agents and I think of No Kings and I have faith again.

Jagoffs in skinny jeans killing democracy.

Would like to know who of those goons were children of immigrants and what jobs did the illegal immigrants take from them?

And they accuse him of assault. This timeline is ridiculous.

They are the actual criminals. Violent thugs!

Your people voted for it, twice. and only protesting once a week and on social media. enjoy it, this is the true America you ignored for 7 decades.

I feel nauseous when I look at that too long.

When ICE acts like a political police force, it’s more than an abuse of power, it’s a threat to democracy itself. #Democracy #Immigration #Accountability

The Trump regime is bringing about its own demise in full public view.

WTF?!?!

George, please answer this. Why aren't NY State Police there asking the agents to confirm their identity and verify the warrant.

Overthrow is overdue.

It’s abt time afrall we R the United States of America 🇺🇸 . Aren’t we ?! PPL of the USA 🇺🇸 MUST DO EVERYTHG POSSBL to get ready to VOTE in Midterm Elections 2026 ! just for the sake of CHILDREN in USA 🇺🇸 , if U gave up 4 yr own alrdy, to knock off ✊ GOP-Congress’ MAJORITIES in US House, n Senate…. ‼️

Trump will suspend the midterms; he can’t risk exposing his GOP, the Gestapo On Point, to the electorate - in turn risking certain impeachment, removal and prosecution.

And the one with Sen Padilla being handcuffed on the ground.

If you show 1000 people that photograph and asked them to describe what's going on here, not a single person would use the word "detained"

If This was Anywhere else! It could only Happen in Russia

The brown shirts fascist look like foreigners to me deport them now according to president Stephen miller penis breath

It amazes me how people follow any unlawful order. Especially when “I was just following orders” is no longer a legitimate reason.

Authoritarianism that comes calling with a standard uniform of backwards baseball caps, masks and shitty tattoos really does put a bow on the evolution of American chud culture.

Another incidence of right wing political violence.

Heroes rising up all over!

Outrageous! This must be stopped.

They look less professional than most bouncers I've seen.

Is ordering assault legal. Someone gave an order to rough people up.

Why?

Where are the courts on all of this blatant corruption? 🐌 pace

🥵

Good clear photo of these goons for a lawsuit.

bsky.app/profile/king...

Oh, there will be much worse by then.
