Episode 439: ‘They Closed the Door and Blocked the Glass and We Heard This Man Screaming in Agony‘

Just two lawyers have remained inside 26 Federal Plaza every day as it’s become the epicenter of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda in New York City, with “large masked men with guns” stationed outside of courtrooms to drag away people showing up for civil hearings. Allison Cutler and Benjamin Remy of the New York Legal Assistant Group’s Immigrant Protection Unit talk with Harry Siegel about what what’s different now than in Trump’s first term as he’s now targeting institutions as much as individuals, what they’ve witnessed inside the courthouse building in Lower Manhattan — and why those scenes are coming soon to a street near you.
