Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz joins Department of Public Works Commissioner William Geary, departmental personnel and other elected officials to officially open a new highway barn in Lancaster. The new barn replaces a century-old, obsolete facility in Clarence that Public Works had used until now.
The Department of Justice has charged U.S. House Democratic candidate Kat Abughazaleh for allegedly impeding law enforcement following a September protest at the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago.
In addition to Abughazaleh, the DOJ also charged Michael Rabbitt, Andre Martin, Catherine Sharp, Brian Straw, and Joselyn Walsh. Authorities alleged that the group surrounded an ICE agent's vehicle and damaged it.
Abughazaleh, a former journalist, was accused of bracing her body against the vehicle. The indictment also claimed that someone scratched the word "PIG" on the car.
In a video posted to X, Abughazaleh said she was exercising her First Amendment rights.
"This is a political prosecution and a gross attempt to silence dissent, a right protected under the First Amendment," she explained. "This case is a major push by the Trump administration to criminalize protest and punish anyone who speaks out against them."
A video shared by DHS in September showed Abughazaleh being thrown to the ground by an officer outside the Broadview facility.
"Individuals and groups impeding ICE operations are siding with vicious cartels, human traffickers, and violent criminals," the post claimed. "You will not stop @ICEgov and DHS law enforcement from enforcing our immigration laws."
"I love watching communists get body slammed by ICE," Trump insider Laura Loomer responded, according to MSNBC.
"Good work," Fox News host Laura Ingraham agreed.
