"This really isn't about me. It's about what happens when people in general know their rights," says immigrant rights advocate Bryan MacCormack.in upstate New York, was captured on video refusing to open his car door March 5 to what an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer insisted was a “warrant of arrest of alien.”MacCormack had just accompanied two immigrants without legal status to the courthouse to deal with minor traffic citations.
“Yes they are, sir, warrant of arrest of alien,” the unidentified officer says to MacCormack as he points to a line on the papers he is holding. The officer's face can't be seen in the video. MacCormack had called the group's attorney and put the call on speakerphone. During the exchange, the attorney can be heard telling him to tell the officer the lawyer was on his way.
The officer then asked MacCormack whether he is familiar with laws governing transporting and harboring of “illegal aliens” in the United States. Gloria Martinez, a co-founder of Columbia County Sanctuary Movement, said a lot of the work the group does involves responding to arrests similar to the one attempted with MacCormack.
Martinez said fear in the community often prevents people from asserting their rights even when they've been trained. ICE officers wear vests that say “police” and that often confuses people too, she said.
Good. This country has laws and even ICE has to go by them
So illegals aliens / immigrants have constitutional rights how is that.
If you are not a citizen you so nor have rights here!
If it’s their rights, must be obeyed! Great job!
I saw this guy on TMZ. I like his hair...oh and he is doing a good thing for immigrants
Why is NBC praising a human trafficker?
I always say the law here is for rich people first and then people who understand it. If you know the law, you may be able to use it to defense when needed. If you are rich, you can easily hire best lawyers to outgun other people or even government. Law itself cannot talk.
Isn't aiding/abetting or harboring a known alien is illegal...
And he was promptly robbed and beaten by the Illegal Aliens right after.
Everyone needs to know their rights.
Trash news! Stop trying to defend and encourage illegal acts!
The Process Is An ICE Queen on a good day. What a nice gesture. I'm running away in fear from this predetermined police force. ACLU amnesty
I support ICEgov.
He was wrong. Bit don't let that stop you
Immigrants, you know the ones that came here and became American, have rights. Illegal immigrants don't have rights. The Constitution does not apply to those that aren't United States citizens. Pretty simple stuff here......
Arrest him
They’ll be arrested in 2 weeks time by angry ICE. Watch
Illegals should not have rights. They are breaking the law.
Great, come here, we give you rights. Children must attend school. So we educate your children. You get healthcare. And don’t tell me no. I’m a RN and the system does give healthcare to those in need then money is taken out of that states budget. Become a citizen and pay taxes.
They saw his man bun and ran away...fast!
Obstruction of justice, instead of encouraging law abiding?
You people butt hurt about this all look the same. Interesting.
Only rights illegals should have is to remain silent
Abolish ICE
But.... illegal immigrants shouldn’t have rights
A member of a group that urges immigrants to know their rights used some of that training to keep immigration officers from arresting two people who were in the car with him. 👏👏👏👏 knowledge is power.
NBC remain true to the narrative. I remember when they were a news network
great, lets teach law breakers how to avoid be caught. why do we even bother having any law?
That’s what I like to read. When know your rights then no one can trick you
Deport
Illegal immigrants have no rights.
