Crowds of protesters outer 26 Federal Plaza where ICE has its main offices now.

A short while ago Make the Road NY attorney Harold Solis spoke to reporters after a brief hearing following the arrest of Oscar Belgal, shot by an ICE officer yesterday. Solis says Belgal still "had a bullet in his body."

A further review of court filings since our initial story shows Cuni has been involved in a series arrests deemed illegal by federal judges, and in some cases he lied in sworn testimony about them.

Few moments ago, an unmarked car with two federal agents tried to leave the Allen Hosptial, NYPD helped clear the way as protesters attempted to block the road. Several happening nowZ

Assemblymember Nikki Lucas, who was elected by the executive committee as new party chair, in apparent violation of the courts order Sunday night, also declined to comment.

Sat between Rep. Nydia Velázquez and former BK dem chair in court today as fight for the party's future continues. I asked about the apparent violation of a judge's order barring the exec committee from voting on a new chair, her attorney disputed there was any violation.

It's 6 o'clock, time of planned leadership vote, meeting room is empty, no sign of BK dems, group of reform NKD folks are outside, in case meeting proceeded.

UPDATE: A State Supreme Court Judge Lisa Lewis has just granted a TRO blocking the Brookyln Democratic Party from voting at tonight's executive committee meeting before a hearing slated for next week.

-An appeals court has sided with reformers, deeming the Aug. 25 rules changes are null and void -Reformers are suing again to block the leadership vote tn until judge assures the old rules will be in effect

The appeals court has sided with New Kings Democrats in Brooklyn Democratic party struggle, ordering the Aug. 25 rule changes voted on by prior district leaders, calling them "null and void."

The 2nd Department Appeals Court is saying it will rule on the Brooklyn Democratic Party power struggle case today, teeing up even more uncertainty ahead of tonight's planned executive committee meeting where the party will pick a new chair.

Perhaps the most bizarre part of this meeting is that Rep. Nydia Velazquez, aligned with reformers, may have been accidentally selected as chair of the county committee, because the slate of names put forth by Brooklyn Dems accidentally left off a name for chairperson.
