Here in New York, ICE agents arrested New York City Comptroller Brad Lander on Tuesday as he was escorting a man at an immigration courthouse in Lower Manhattan. Lander, who is running for mayor, was handcuffed and detained by agents after he demanded to see a judicial warrant as agents tried to detain the man he was accompanying.

ICE agent: “Step back. Step back. Step back. Step back. Step back.”

Brad Lander: “You don’t have authority — you don’t have authority to arrest U.S. citizens.”

ICE agent: “Step back. Sir, step back.”

Brad Lander: “You don’t have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens.”

ICE agent: “Step back, guys. Step back.”

Brad Lander: “You don’t have the — I’m not obstructing. I’m standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant.”

Press secretary: “And you’re arresting the comptroller while he’s trying to help here?”

Brad Lander: “By asking for a judicial warrant?”

Press secretary: “This is ridiculous.”

Brad Lander: “You don’t have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens asking for a judicial warrant.”

Brad Lander was held for several hours in the latest confrontation between Democratic politicians and federal immigration agents. Other mayoral candidates denounced Lander’s arrest. Zohran Mamdani wrote, “This is fascism.” Andrew Cuomo said the arrest is an example of the “extreme thuggery of Trump’s ICE out of control.” Brad Lander will join us later in the hour.
