NYC Comptroller Lander Arrested by Masked Federal Agents
New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested by ICE agents at an immigration court in Manhattan after requesting a judicial warrant. Lander, who was observing court proceedings, was charged with assaulting law enforcement and impeding a federal officer, a claim disputed by his wife and supporters. Witnesses allege a pattern of deceptive deportations where individuals are misled into believing their cases are dismissed before being immediately apprehended by ICE agents. The arrest has sparked outrage among Lander’s colleagues and advocates, who condemn it as an abuse of power and a threat to democratic processes.
