NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander arrested at immigration court

New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested at an immigration court, the latest U.S. politician to be swept up in Trump's ICE immigration raids.

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said Lander, who is among 11 Democratic candidates seeking to replace current Mayor Eric Adams, was arrested for assaulting law enforcement and impeding a federal officer.

"I'm not obstructing, I'm standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant," Lander said. "You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens asking for judicial warrants."
