Its going to be dope as hell when the civil war pops off with NYPD vs ICE in a shootout in Manhattan.
In what world is the NYPD on the people's side?
Whomever wins, we lose.
Ha I doubt Mamdani would make his police chief order NYPD to forcefully grab Netanyahu if ICE (or any other federal force) was physically protecting him. The furthest I could see it escalating is NYPD cops staring at his escort.
I’m sure the NYPD has plenty of Palestinian volunteers.
Hit it covertly and dump him in some embassy that absolutely would extradite him. Or sneakily get him into a truck and just chauffeur him.
Legal? Probably not.
But that shit has flown the chicken coop.
Don’t forget the New York national guard
To protect a corrupt Jewish warlord citizen of Israel... I don't know if there's irony there but it does seem like some kind of cosmic joke.
For us non Americans can you please explain the connection between Netanyahu and ICE
Trump 100% supports Netanyahu, and ICE is basically his version of the Brown Shirts.
ICE's arrest tactics are ripped directly from the IDF's playbook:

For the record, they ripped them from Hitler’s playbook.
Who ripped them from some prior asshole’s playbook.
