New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested by ICE agents while observing immigration proceedings in Manhattan, raising questions about his potential charges. Lander, a Democratic mayoral candidate, was detained as he requested to see a judicial warrant from the agents. Details of the incident show video footage of the arrest, where Lander asserts his rights as a U.S. citizen. His campaign is closely monitoring the situation, and federal authorities have not yet confirmed information regarding his charges or current status after the arrest.
"I'm not obstructing, I'm standing right here in the hallway, I asked to see the judicial warrant. You don't have authority to arrest a U.S. citizen asking for a judicial warrant."
"This is still developing and we are monitoring the situation closely," Lander campaign spokeswoman Dora Pekec said.
