The moment Donald Trump was sworn into office after all the backfired Democrat lawfare efforts against him, the Left went from preaching "no one is above the law" to making it very clear that they think there are a lot of people who should be above the law.
That of course includes illegal aliens, who are at the top of the Democrats' "priorities" list. That became obvious yet again after a raid in New York City where several more people in the country illegally were taken off the streets, all while the "no one is above the law" Dems flipped out:

Right on cue, Rep. Dan Goldman accused those who are enforcing the law of "lawless terror":

If Goldman wants to see who's on the "lawless" side all he's got to do is look in a mirror, but at least there are now a few more illegals that Sen. Van Hollen can have margaritas with.
Naturally the likely next mayor of New York City, Mamdani the Commie, voiced his displeasure as well:
Federal agents from ICE and HSI—some in military fatigues and masks—descended on Chinatown today in an aggressive and reckless raid on immigrant street vendors.

Once again, the Trump administration chooses authoritarian theatrics that create fear, not safety. It must stop. https://t.co/TTAmNlm7Zr
"Immigrant street vendors." No, comrade -- "immigrants" are in the country legally.
When reading an ABC7 story about this, a quote from current NYC Mayor Eric Adams made me spit out my coffee. This is something else:
The NYPD said they had no involvement in the operation, and a statement from Mayor Eric Adams offered a similar response, saying in part, "New York City does not cooperate with federal law enforcement on civil deportations, in accordance with our local laws."
"While we gather details about the situation, New Yorkers should know that we have no involvement," Mayor Adams said. "Our administration has been clear that undocumented New Yorkers trying to pursue their American Dreams should not be the target of law enforcement, and resources should instead be focused on violent criminals."
Adams should be forced to step down immediately just based on that massive contradiction alone.
If Trump further wants to trigger the Democrats he should make the people taken into custody a deal to be let off the hook if they go spend a week working construction on the White House East Wing remodel.
