I have an exclusive interview for you tonight. Brad Lander spoke to me in one of his first public appearances after being unlawfully detained by ICE earlier today.
I sat down with New York City Comptroller — and mayoral candidate — Brad Lander just hours after federal agents arrested him at an immigration court. Lander was taken into custody after he linked arms with an immigrant facing detention, directly confronting ICE’s aggressive deportation tactics under the Trump administration. This marks the latest flashpoint between federal agents and Democratic officials who are resisting mass detention policies.
Lander was held for several hours before being released after Governor Kathy Hochul arrived at the federal building where he was detained. The immigrant Lander tried to shield was also arrested. The Department of Justice says it is reviewing possible charges against Lander.
