Ice agents arrested the New York City comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander at a federal building in Manhattan. He had spent the morning there observing immigration hearings and told an Associated Press reporter he had intended to accompany some immigrants out of the building. Footage of the arrest shows an agent telling Lander: 'You're obstructing'. Lander replies: 'You don't have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant' as he was led into a lift

I completely get what your going for.

But...

You know where this road ends? You have a big mouth now, and I get it, I get it so very much but this ends with thousands if not millions of dead Americans in a civil war.

If you have any questions about how that would work out, maybe ask Yugoslavia where these roads end and if it was all worth it.

I'm not saying you should lie on your back and let them walk over you, I'm saying you want to thread this violence needle extremely careful or you WILL get more blood than you bargained for.
