"Every New Yorker has rights when they interact with immigration enforcement," Rep. Goldman tweeted. "No matter what the next four years bring, stay informed, stay safe, and stay together." According to the Daily Caller, this tweet sparked a wave of accusations from various users, who claimed that Goldman was attempting to protect illegal immigrants with criminal records from deportation, an act that violates federal law.

A spokesperson for Goldman's office refuted the notion that his message was aimed at illegal immigrants, telling the Daily Caller that the video was intended for American citizens and legal immigrants who had been wrongly detained by ICE.

"President Trump has a well-documented pattern of abusing his power by detaining American citizens and legal residents," Madison Andrus, a spokesperson for Goldman, told the Caller. "The Congressman will always provide his constituents with information to protect them from extrajudicial threats and intimidation, and only someone who supports the use of threats and intimidation would take issue with him doing so."

A source familiar with the agency's operations also dismissed Goldman's office's claims that they had detained citizens, asserting that American citizens are "not subject to arrest." They added that ICE only arrests individuals when there is "probable cause" demonstrating the person is an unauthorized noncitizen who can be removed from the country.

"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement may encounter U.S. citizens while conducting field work and may request identification to establish an individual’s identity," an ICE spokesperson told the Caller.
Goldman's office provided the Caller with alleged examples of ICE detaining U.S. citizens under President Trump. However, these examples were met with skepticism and denial from ICE, which stated that it had no record of one of the cases.

"It’s completely disgraceful that Democrats are going to such extreme lengths to aid illegals — even going as far as using their official accounts to give instructions on evading ICE!" Harris told the Caller. "This is just the beginning of their extreme tactics to obstruct President Trump’s agenda. Speaking in Chinese or Spanish won’t hide the Left’s message: they care more about criminal aliens than the safety of the American people."
Rep. Goldman, who serves on the Committee on Homeland Security and the Judiciary Committee, has previously voted to protect some illegal immigrants accused of crimes from deportation. He was among the 156 House Democrats who voted against the Laken Riley Act, a law that mandates the detention of illegal aliens arrested for theft-related crimes.
