the police presence at Town Hall is unfuckingbelievable. They are deep inside the station, stopping and searching people at the top of the stairs from the platform. Absolutely off the charts I have never seen anything like it and I have protested for over 40 years.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.
