THE REGIME COULDN'T MAKE IT STICK

The charge against Brad Lander was almost too small to say out loud: he sat peacefully in front of an elevator. The former NYC Comptroller had gone to 26 Federal Plaza last September to protest at an immigration court. The regime made a federal case out of it. Lander was zip-tied, arrested, and charged with obstruction.

The DOJ later offered him a plea deal. He turned it down. “I want a trial,” he said, vowing to keep protesting the regime’s immigration crackdown.

So they put him in front of a judge, and it didn’t last long. On June 11, after only one day, US Magistrate Judge Henry J. Ricardo found him not guilty, ruling the government could point to no real obstruction at all.

The regime put protest on trial and lost. Lander’s already vowing to be back.

1. Expected, but nevertheless a big relief that once again sanity prevailed.

2. Just so you know, pretty hard for the State/Government to lose a bench trial. The Magistrate upheld his oath.

3. People should start lawsuits

against these false arrests

The fascists will keep doing it as long as there's no consequences.
