"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."
An immigration lawyer who tried to stave off ICE disappearances in Lower Manhattan last week spoke to Hell Gate about the trap that's being set for immigrants.
"This is so extreme, from both a legal perspective and one's conscience," she told Hell Gate.

A goofy Shakira remix, a nervy penalty kick, and 60,000 fans turning banter into legend—welcome to the world of football chants.
One-Nil to the Arsenal
When Arsenal striker Kai Havertz stepped up to take a penalty against Bournemouth last season, it felt like his career was a crossroads. The German forward had joined Arsenal from their London rivals Chelsea for a hefty £60 million transfer fee, but he still hadn't found the back of the net. And critics were questioning whether all that money had been a waste.
