    Police swarming Sunset Park this morning & making violent arrests. Neighbors & community activists on the scene told me ICE agents showed up wearing federal postal service shirts & knocked down the front door of a house, unannounced with no warrant, & rushed in and made arrestspic.twitter.com/OWG10fFx99

        Update from @NYCCouncil38 — his office was told that the raid was not ICE, but rightfully recognizes that the climate of tension and confusion is a direct result of ICE’s ongoing campaign of terrorism in Sunset Parkhttps://twitter.com/NYCCouncil38/status/1318910998233964544 …

        Our office contacted the 72nd precinct & received confirmation that it was not ICE. The US Postal Inspector was conducting a narcotics related arrest. We’re monitoring the situation & the the detained activist will be released in a few hours. https://twitter.com/chactivist/status/1318884608709197827 …

        update, the move seems to be coming back to the precinct for 6 p.m. rally. it's obvious that the NYPD doesn't consider this to be a sanctuary City and de Blasio doesn't have the balls to stop them.
