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.

$17,000 in fines for harboring a criminal illegal alien seems a bit stiff... probably should have fined him only as much as the Koch brothers.

$17k fine for the threat.

$34K fine for NOT making the call!

Aren’t you assuming that the landlord said what the renter said she did? Or the lawyer, I mean.

Liberal laws passed in deep blue states. This is what the left wants nationwide.

Why threaten? Just do it without the threat. [I wish ICE would deport all illegals. No exceptions.]

If you’re going to do something don’t tell your opponent, just do it.
