Brad Lander, NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate, is arrested at immigration court
apJUN 8
This arrest represents dangerous government overreach and authoritarian intimidation tactics. Federal agents violated basic constitutional rights by detaining an elected official who simply asked to see a judicial warrant. The Trump administration is weaponizing ICE to silence anyone who dares question their immigration enforcement methods.
Politicians seeking higher office are undermining law enforcement safety through dangerous political stunts. ICE officers face unprecedented assault rates while Democrats stage viral moments instead of respecting federal authority. No one is above the law when they physically obstruct federal officers performing their duties.
