Oh NO! A New York City Council employee was detained in Nassau County by federal immigration officials during a routine immigration appointment and Zohran Mamdani is BIG mad about it!

Ha.
HA ha.
HA HA ha.
HA HA HA ha.
Did he really think this was a smart thing to post on X? Bro. No.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@NYCMayor) ~ 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. This is an assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values. I am calling for his immediate release and will continue to monitor the situation.
What's he going to do about it? Gripe some more on X?
Zohran is gonna do more of this ...

Matt Van Swol (@mattvanswol) ~ {Replying to @NYCMayor} I was detained by Border Patrol in Arizona near the border in 2018. I was a government employee working as a scientist for the U.S. Dept. of Energy at the time ... and guess what? Not a damn thing happened to me - because I was following the law.
Shut the hell up.
Peachy Keenan (@KeenanPeachy) ~ {Replying to @NYCMayor} Do you employ illegals?
Interesting how Mamdani skipped over WHY the employee was detained.
Hollaria Briden, Esq. (@HollyBriden) ~ {Replying to @NYCMayor} I’ve been briefed.
Us too. Totally.
BWHA HA HA HA HA HA!!! You SO deserved that dig, Zohran ... after stupidly lying that you were BRIEFED right after the U.S. military raid that captured Maduro in Caracas. The only 'briefing" you received was this ...

Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) ~ {Replying to @NYCMayor} Nope. He’s going back to wherever the hell he came from.
Yeah ... if he's here illegally, then he needs to get the boot.
If he's here legally, he has nothing to worry about.
Kentucky Girl (@Notwokenow) ~ {Replying to @NYCMayor} Piss off, jihadist!
Tough crowd, Zohran.
