Brooklyn leaders offer workshop for immigrants
In the wake of a shocking incident on July 11 in which a Muslim woman was verbally harassed by a fellow passenger on an S53 bus traveling from Bay Ridge to Staten Island, Borough President Eric Adams, who led a symbolic unity ride on the S53 bus on July 15 to combat hatred, will host his annual Citizenship Drive on Saturday, July 21, at Borough Hall from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
In a video of the incident, a woman who identified herself as Ashley is seen verbally attacking a woman wearing a headscarf. In the video, “Ashley” can be heard taunting the woman, telling her that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is coming to arrest her. “Immigration at the door. Oh wait, is that ICE? Oh mama, they here for you,” Ashley is heard shouting.
It’s not clear if the victim is an immigrant.
