NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate detained by ICE at court | NBC4 Washington

New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was taken into custody by federal agents at an immigration court Tuesday as he was “escorting” a person out of a courtroom, his campaign says.

The Department of Homeland Security put out a statement on X saying Lander had been arrested for allegedly assaulting law enforcement and impeding a federal law officer.

"No one is above the law, and if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will face consequences," the DHS statement said.

Kat Capossela, Lander’s press secretary, told NBC over email, "While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing and we are monitoring the situation closely.”

The person Lander was walking out of the courtroom was also taken into custody.
