[geek tragedy]

Seriously, ICE agents are exceeded in wanton thuggishness only by the CBP.

KEW GARDENS — Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested three people outside the Queens Criminal Courthouse on Friday, with activists and the chief judge saying they also planned to arrest a woman from a court for human trafficking victims.

ICE agents were inside the courthouse looking for a young woman from China who was charged for working illegally as a masseuse, according to WNYC.

She was being tried in human trafficking court, which aims to provide alternative sentences to possible sex workers — who are often victims of sex trafficking or other crimes, according to court officials.

Lawyers from Legal Aid protected the woman from ICE agents by asking the judge for bail so she could leave the courthouse, according to WNYC.

No immigrant, regardless of legal status, should ever be cooperating with federal law enforcement under the Trump regime. The federal government has declared war on immigrants.

1. Oh, they've been busy, and cruelty is their specialty.

U.S. Border Patrol officers on Thursday arrested four people at a non-profit medical aid camp that was established to prevent the deaths of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border into Arizona's desert, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed.

The camp in Arivaca, northwest of Nogales and about 11 miles north of the Mexican border, was set up by No More Deaths, a non-profit humanitarian organization established in 2004 that says its mission is to "end death and suffering" on the border. The camp offers medical aid and water to migrants crossing the border.

The organization said on Twitter that around 30 armed agents entered the camp with 15 trucks, two quads and a helicopter to detain the migrants Thursday.

"The raid on the medical aid camp is unacceptable and a break in our good faith agreements w/BP to respect the critical work of #NoMoreDeaths," the organization said in a tweet.

2. Indeed. And the rank and file have always been this bad.

They were resentful of Obama because he put a leash on them. Now anything goes.
