Mamdani Furious After ICE Arrests Illegal Alien City Council Staffer-lllllll
A New York City Council employee was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Monday during a routine immigration check-in on Long Island, city officials said, a move that angered newly inaugurated Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
The staffer, a data analyst for the Council, was detained in Bethpage, Nassau County, while attending what was described by Council Speaker Julie Menin as a scheduled immigration hearing. Menin said the employee had legal authorization to remain and work in the United States through October 2026, a claim disputed by the federal government.
“[He] had legal authorization to remain in the country until October of this year,” Menin said in a statement. “We are doing everything we can to secure his immediate release and demand swift and transparent action by the federal government.”
The Council announced the detention at an emergency news conference Monday evening. Officials said the employee contacted the Council’s human resources department after being taken into custody and that authorities initially provided no clear reason for his detention other than his presence at the appointment.
The detainee was transported to a federal immigration facility in Manhattan. The city has not released his name, citing privacy concerns, but the Associated Press and other outlets have identified him as Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, a Venezuelan national and asylum-seeker.
ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have not publicly released detailed information about the staffer’s immigration status. According to an Associated Press review of court filings and statements, federal authorities said he overstayed a tourist visa after entering the United States in 2017 and had a prior arrest for assault, and that he “had no legal right to be in the United States.”
City officials, meanwhile, dispute that account, claiming he cleared a personnel background check and that he complied with immigration procedures.
The detention has drawn sharp criticism from New York political leaders Democrats. Mamdani called the arrest an “assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values,” and demanded the employee’s release. Council members and other elected officials have also condemned the action as federal overreach.
“I am outraged to hear a New York City Council employee was detained in Nassau County by federal immigration officials at a routine immigration appointment,” Mamdani wrote on the social platform X. “This is an assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values,” Mamdani continued, adding that he would “continue to monitor the situation.”
A habeas corpus petition seeking the employee’s release is pending in federal court, with a hearing scheduled for later this week, according to court documents reviewed by news outlets.
The detention of the NYC council staffer comes on the heels of activist Renee Good’s death in Minneapolis. She was shot and killed after she allegedly struck an ICE agent with her SUV. She and her spouse, Rebecca Good, had been following ICE throughout the day and were in the process of blocking ICE vehicles and antagonizing agents before the shooting, according to video circulating on social media.
Federal authorities this week have released body camera and cellphone video showing the moments leading up to the fatal shooting.
The footage, recorded from an ICE agent’s vantage point, shows Good’s Honda Pilot stopped in the middle of a residential street, appearing to block traffic.
Good is heard telling an agent, “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad,” as officers approach the vehicle.
At the same time, body camera video shows Good’s wife, Rebecca Good, filming the encounter on her cellphone.
Both women appear to refuse repeated commands from federal agents to move the vehicle and leave the area.
Rebecca Good is heard taunting agents, demanding they show their faces, and saying, “You want to come at us? You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy.”
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
