A New York judge earlier this month recommended a landlord pay $17,000 in fines for threatening to call immigration authorities on an undocumented tenant.

This is the first case related to housing where threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to harass or intimidate a tenant has been found to be a violation of law, according to a spokesperson for the New York City Commission on Human Rights.

Holly Ondaan, the tenant and an undocumented immigrant at the time the case was filed, testified in court that she became "an emotional wreck" when her former landlord, Dianna Lysius, threatened to call ICE and sent demeaning texts because she was unable to pay rent.

The landlord should be prosecuted for harboring an illegal alien.

Just when we think that hardworking, tax paying Americans are the backbone of this country, a judge decides that reporting illegal activity should be penalized in the amount of $17,000.

Why should anyone obey the Law??

Leftists want complete anarchy to destroy our beloved country. I’m surprised the Statue of Liberty hasn’t been shedding tears over the destruction.

Since "there is no law in McMinn County" (heard from a WWII GI veteran at the Battle of Athens, 1946), perhaps the landlord should deal with the attack by the thugjudge directly...

You the crook NY judge who is against enforcing Federal law?

Yeah, and I'm enjoying it **smirk**

So if this is true - can we sue Beto for threatening to steal our guns?

Is that not the same type of blackmail as this judge has decided is criminal?

Note to American citizens: Do not threatened to call ICE on illegal aliens. Simply, call ICE.

Classic Costner:

Open Range

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0316356/

In Montana in 1882, "Boss" Spearman [Robert Duvall in another classic Western turn] is an open range cattleman, who, with hired hands Charley, Mose, and Button, is driving a herd cross country. Charley Postelwaite [Costner] is a former soldier who fought in the Civil War and feels guilty over his past as a killer.

Charley "gets over it" when confronted by a more ruthless hired gunthug and his thug rancher boss. As you can see in the clip, he uses the Nathan Bedford Forrest method.

The judge should be thrown in prison for pimping illegals on a collective scale

Can’t be a real judge. You’d get in trouble for shooting a real judge.

The landlord is an idiot. It is abuse of process. If the person is illegal, then report them. But you cannot use the threat of reporting them to extort money.

Bingo, what it all boils down to is attempted extortion. Deliver the 3 day pay or quit notice and continue on eviction. Because you know what's going to happen, you'll get your money late, then the next month even later, etc. Just file the paperwork and move on.
