Boyfriend of Adams administration official detained by ICE under mysterious circumstances

[RandySF]

The romantic partner of a senior city corrections official was detained by immigration agents last month in the Bronx amid what is perhaps a watershed moment in the Big Apple’s conflict over President Trump’s immigration crackdown, the Daily News has learned.

Nathaniel Rojas, a native of the Dominican Republic who’s allegedly undocumented, was hauled away by ICE agents Aug. 28 in Riverdale from the apartment he shares with Wendy Garcia, who has been the city Department of Correction’s deputy commissioner for development and advancement since February, according to records and law enforcement sources.

Rojas was taken to 26 Federal Plaza and whisked up to an Orange County jail where he has remained over the past two weeks, records show. Garcia was present during Rojas’ arrest, the sources said.

The day he was detained, Rojas’ lawyer Reuben Kerben filed a habeas corpus lawsuit in federal court against ICE as well as Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, court records show. The file is sealed and pending.

1. Homan live on Fox TV said he'd "be up Adam's ass" if Adams didn't cooperate with ICE

And today we read that Adams is likely to quit the race for Mayor after many stories about he has been offered a job with the regime.

It seems this detention is yet more strong-arming of Adams by the tyrannical regime.

2. Garcia was present during Rojas' arrest, the sources said.

That's really ambiguous and confusing to me.

Was she present at his arrest simply because they share a home or is it implying Garcia dropped a dime on Rojas and turned him into ICE?

Either way makes perfect sense, but usually there would be a boilerplate quote from Garcia along the lines of how unexpected this was and how frightening it was.

I suppose the simplest answer is poor journalism and all the experienced copy editors were long ago laid off.
