Mamdani calls ICE detention of NYC employee 'assault on our democracy'
DHS detained Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez during routine immigration appointment, citing overstayed visa and assault arrest

The Department of Homeland Security detained a New York City Council employee during an immigration appointment on Monday, leading to outrage from Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

DHS says the migrant, 53-year-old Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, overstayed on a 2017 tourist visa. They also say he was arrested in an assault case. Mamdani and other city leaders demanded the man's release on Monday.

"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 in a statement on X. "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."

DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin dismissed complaints, however, saying the department was fully justified in taking Bohorquez into custody.

It is not an assault on “our Democracy”, it is the necessary consequence of enforcing our democratically enacted laws. 

Nobody is above the law, remember, Mr Mamdani?

If you don’t like the consequences of the law, then follow the democratic procedures for changing the law.

Not enforcing Immigration Laws is the assault on our 'democracy'.

The majority of our elected Federal Representatives and Senators wrote, debated, amended, and voted to pass those laws before they went to the President for signature and final ratification.

The lawlessness of the Dems is the 'assault on our democracy'.  What happened to 'the rule of law' and 'being a nation of laws'?

The majority of Americans don't want to pay for criminal illegal alien slave laborers and subsidize Black Rock's profits from that labor.

Criminal illegal alien infiltration is a Globalist organized criminal enterprise that is subsidized by the American worker and taxpayer.

It wasn't the illegals (who aren't supposed to vote, anyway) who elected him, it was the FSA (Free Sh*t Army) who wanted free bus rides.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
