Brad Lander, NYC Comptroller and mayoral candidate, was arrested by ICE agents while escorting a migrant out of a federal building, questioning their authority. His calm demeanor contrasted sharply with the aggressive arrest, which raised alarms about federal overreach under the Trump Administration. This incident highlights an alarming trend of increased ICE arrests, particularly of non-criminal migrants, and reflects the hostile political atmosphere regarding immigration and sanctuary cities. Supporters of Trump defend these actions as 'law and order', although they are criticized as authoritarian overreaches.
Lander posed no threat, made no sudden moves, and was visibly calm as he was asking questions to protect Edgardo, but was still arrested for the apparent offense of moral clarity and courage.
I will let go when you show me the judicial warrant,' Lander can be heard saying in video footage before being slammed against a wall and cuffed.
The incident, which was captured on video, has become yet another flashpoint in the increasingly hostile political climate cultivated by Donald Trump and his federal loyalists.
Despite the outrage, Trump's supporters continue to justify the blatant abuse of power under the guise of 'law and order', but in reality, it's a smokescreen to continue his mission to usher in authoritarianism.
