Absolutely shameful.

Gracias, Dom. That last thing, the sobbing from Stairwell B, proves once again why you're a great journalist. Good thing, too, since for all the scrum you depict, too many chase pearls of wisdom from Dear Leader's mouth with that never-question-him fealty to profit.

I wrote a thing about this too. Yes, I am shamelessly trying to gain readers and this is probably “not done” in polite circles, but here is the link.

Looks like an executioner...what's with the total head cover?

Some take the lengths of their anonymity more serious than others.

Ta, Dom. I'm horrified. I did not know there's another immigration court in the Javits. I have taken a client to the one at Federal Plaza downtown, and we got him a date in immigration court. We have not heard from him; he missed his last appointment and has not called us. I hope he's okay.

Every day I wish I was young and healthy. I would spend my time calling these fuckers out. Loudly, in those hallways. I never minded getting arrested. It's an easy price to pay.

Horrible - might as well be leading them to the gallows. It would be more humane than what they’re doing- BTW: likely to be a new show on Fox this fall: “EXECUTION LIVE!” Followed by: ‘The Executioner Batchelor!” , brought to you by, “Invisimask”- make yourself completely unidentifiable, for any occasion”….

The masks are definitely a sign that you are proud of what you're doing.

I mean all of us probably question some of our life choices, but I don't think anyone here has ever chosen work that involves mistreating and terrorizing people allegedly guilty of nothing but a minor civic offense at the behest of someone actually convicted of nearly three dozen felony counts.

In South Africa, they had "truth and reconciliation" conferences when Apartheid ended. The racism, cruelty, and class-based hatred fueling U.S. policy have led to a nihilistic reign of terror--a President of the United States deliberately and gleefully destroying the country from within. Is he doing this on Putin's orders, or just because he himself wants to do it? If and when it ends, that needs to be acknowledged, and the leaders of it need to be convicted and imprisoned for the rest of their miserable lives. Now let's see those Epstein files. We're not going to magically forget about that imperative because you set half a dozen demented dumpster fires like the one centered on Obama's nonexistent misdeeds. I don't care if little green men land on the White House lawn and proclaim a glorious new epoch. Epstein files, mofos.

The only 'uniform' attire is the masks. Why are there not more legislators, lawyers acting to stop this? It feels, at least, like there are only a handful. And that's clearly not enough.

I am appalled in general, and more appalled at feeling so helpless.
