"You know a story is moving when TMZ calls." That's why Sen. Elissa Slotkin said last November, when the entertainment site did a story on her being a member of the Seditious Six. The site named for the "thirty-mile zone" around Hollywood has been doing more and more political reporting lately, interviewing the wife of a service member who trashed Operation Epic Fury and reporting on President Trump's alleged "health crisis concerns" over Easter weekend that turned out to be liberal wishcasting.
TMZ is once again traveling far out of its thirty-mile zone to cover ICE agents dragging a man out of a New York City hospital on Saturday night, while chaos broke out in the streets as a mob of protesters started to riot.
ICE agents dragged a man out of a hospital in New York City Saturday night ... all while chaos broke out in the streets outside due to a mob of livid protesters.

Good. He was only there for an evaluation after he got violent with officers.

Nice try on the headline spin though.
You irresponsible hacks…you didn’t bother getting the full story, instead posting this clickbait garbage designed to gin up outrage and put ICE officers’ safety at risk. Shame on you. You should be held accountable.@FBI @FBIDirectorKash

Posting these lies and endangering our officers....
You and TMZ are on the list.
They make the mob out to be the good guys here.
All of the thugs interfering with ICE should’ve been arrested.

If only. Zip-ties are cheap and plentiful.
Your engagement farming is shameful, and you will be community noted.

DHS stepped in to fill in the holes in the story:
Last night, @ICEgov conducted a targeted enforcement operation in Brooklyn that resulted in the arrest of Chidozie Wilson Okeke, a criminal illegal alien from Nigeria with previous arrests for ASSAULT AND CRIMINAL DRUG POSSESSION.
— Homeland Security (@DHSgov) May 4, 2026
During his arrest, Okeke refused to comply with… https://t.co/9lNyrELwHA
The post continues:
… officers’ lawful commands to exit the vehicle and weaponized his vehicle to attempt to hit ICE officers. Okeke became physically combative attempting to punch and elbow ICE officers. Our officers followed their training and used the minimum amount of force necessary to make the arrest.
After his arrest, Okeke requested medical assistance, so ICE officers escorted him to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center for a medical evaluation. Okeke remained non-compliant during the medical evaluation throwing himself to the floor and screaming. The medical staff cleared him.
During the medical evaluation, a significant crowd of anti-ICE agitators gathered at the hospital and became violent. The protestors damaged several ICE vehicles and assaulted ICE officers, resulting in minor injuries to the officers. Assaulting law enforcement is a felony and crime.
Officers from the New York Police Department responded to the scene and arrested several rioters.
That's funny … TMZ just described him as "a man."
“Okeke remained non-compliant during the medical evaluation throwing himself to the floor and screaming.”

What a little b*tch. Responded exactly like a racial leftist throwing a hissy fit.
We need to start arresting these people. Use GEO fencing and flock cameras. Get it done. Find out how they organized, get the organizers too.
— Cavalry Doc (@desertveteran) May 4, 2026
Funny how a crowd just happened to form around the hospital where the illegal was taken for evaluation.
It’s getting to the point where use of force against agitators must be taken.

Rioters aren't protestors; they're violent law-breakers. Put enough of them down with swift, overwhelming violence and they'll stop rioting.

Mob is ginned up by moronic leftists to protect a felon.
— dankbubba, #MAGA (@dank1j) May 4, 2026
Accessories to felonies.
Arrest them all for what they've done and get them jail time and massive fines for destruction of property.
Imagine being such an idiot as to scream and protest the arrest of an ILLEGAL immigrant, who is also a criminal.

The disrupters are likely using flash mob tactics to react to all this. This was first taught at colleges across the country. Now it infects everything. It’s unfortunate.
— JaneMiami (@janemiami) May 4, 2026
These people all get their marching orders from Signal chats to which they subscribe. That's how you get a mob on demand.
Trying to spin this is truly pathetic and disgusting.

Hey, @TMZ, you forgot to add 'deservedly' dragged.

We're glad to hear that the NYPD arrested "several" rioters. What were they rioting over? The detention of an illegal alien with previous arrests for assault and criminal drug possession, who weaponized his vehicle to hit ICE officers and punched and elbowed them. This is the kind of person they're working to protect from detention.
