Here in New York, City Councilmember Chi Ossé was released from NYPD custody on Wednesday after his violent arrest at a protest in support of a homeowner facing eviction. Ossé said after his release he’d sought hospital treatment after officers slammed him to the ground and pressed his face to the concrete. Three others were arrested, including two who were also hospitalized. They had gathered outside a residence in Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy neighborhood where city marshals were executing an eviction. Ossé said the property owners were victims of “deed theft,” a process where investors take ownership of homes through fraud in rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods where property values are skyrocketing. New York Attorney General Letitia James said she is “deeply disturbed” by video of Ossé’s arrest; meanwhile, Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the footage “concerning” and said he was investigating.
