Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Brad Lander @bradlander.bsky.social · 12d

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

For all that the topics in an episode of Between the Covers are fascinating and the conversations insightful, listening to the guests respond to the questions is always hands down the best part.

You can hear that they're truly moved and astonished by how well they've been understood and I love it.
