The most recent incident was caught on video by Cruz Berrios on her cellphone. During the two-minute ordeal, which begins with the mother and daughter in a parked car, it shows ICE agents trying to convince Berrios to get out of the car.

After they didn’t, a masked man shamed her car window, unlocked the door, and removed the mother from the vehicle. “I’m not going to give you the order, it’s in the car,” the officer said just before the mother was taken from the car. “No!” the daughter screamed.

Meet New York Council Member Inna Vernikov (R-Sheepshead Bay)

She has successfully gotten developers to cut affordable housing in half and build more parking spaces. During Tuesday’s City Council land use hearing, Vernikov signaled her support for the revised rezoning proposal at 2501 Coney Island Avenue.

This is the current location:

The new zoning measure will only allow four stories comprising 27 units and 35 parking spaces, down from the original proposal of 11 stories with 60 units and only 24 parking spaces. So, 33 fewer families can live in the neighborhood, but 11 more cars can.

“When this proposal first came to me there were significant concerns ... with what it would do to the character of the neighborhood, and also with parking which is always a concern with any new project in the district due to our traffic issues and lack of sufficient parking generally” Vernikov said at the hearing.
