Brad Lander detained by masked federal agents inside immigration court
The dizzying day began when the city comptroller and mayoral candidate made his latest visit to an immigration court in Manhattan.
“But Edgardo will sleep in an ICE detention facility god knows where tonight… he has been stripped of his due process rights in a country that is supposed to be founded on equal justice under law,” Lander continued, referring to the man detained by federal agents at the same time the comptroller was taken into custody. A spokeswoman for Mayor Eric Adams, who has vowed not to publicly criticize Donald Trump, responded to the incident in a statement a spokesperson sent to the New York Post four hours after the comptroller’s arrest, saying “today should not be about Brad Lander.” The spokeswoman, Kayla Mamelak Altus, went on to say that “it’s about making sure all New Yorkers – regardless of their documentation status –feel safe enough to use public resources, like dialing 911, sending their kids to school, going to the hospital, or attending court appearances, and do not instead hide in the shadows.”
