"He's not gonna to build the wall."

"I never particularly thought that the border wall was anything more than a campaign symbol."

"Republicans in the Senate are going to do this time what they didn't do last time, which is fund the building of the wall."

"With President Trump back in office we'll be able to resume construction on the border wall."

"President Trump will fight back and build a strong, secure wall."

"Republicans and President Trump will finish the border wall."

"Trump would try to finish the wall and deploy the US military to turn the border into a kind of demarcation line."

"I will end the illegal immigration by closing our border and finishing the wall, most of which I've already built."

The arrests occurred one day after U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan issued a preliminary injunction ordering ICE to improve conditions at the holding facility — requiring ICE to provide adequate space, sleeping mats and confidential legal phone calls for detainees, as well as improve cleanliness standards.

The elected officials were charged with a misdemeanor for obstructing entrances and corridors and were released with federal summonses requiring them to appear in Manhattan federal court in November. The building was later placed on lockdown due to a bomb threat.

Federal immigration facilities are subject to congressional oversight, with House members having statutory authority to inspect detention centers. But state and local lawmakers do not possess the same legal powers to access such facilities.

ICE has been using four holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza to detain migrants arrested at the building and elsewhere, with detainees reporting overcrowded conditions, sleeping on concrete floors, limited food access and lack of privacy for basic needs.

This was nothing more than a publicity stunt by activist politicians seeking attention while endangering law enforcement and detainees. These local officials have no legal authority to inspect federal facilities and showed up unannounced with media to obstruct operations and cause chaos. ICE is lawfully detaining individuals with criminal records in a processing facility, and these grandstanding politicians are interfering with legitimate federal law enforcement activities.

Arresting elected officials has become the go-to move by the Trump administration in an attempt to hide the conditions at these detainment centers from the public eye.

This publicity stunt by activist politicians who know better put law enforcement in danger. These local officials showed up unannounced and caused chaos where ICE is lawfully detaining individuals with terrible criminal records in a processing facility. Law enforcement was left with no choice but to make these arrests.
