“New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was released from federal custody Tuesday afternoon, hours after he was [abducted] by officers at immigration court in Manhattan after he tried to escort a migrant whom officers were attempting to [abduct]. … multiple videos show Lander standing next to a man locking arms with him as officers approached. After the officers asked Lander to step aside to [abduct] the man a scuffle broke out between the officers, Lander and other bystanders who tried to block the [abduction]. ‘You don’t have a judicial warrant,’ Lander can be heard saying to the officers. The videos show Lander holding on to the man as officers struggled and ultimately moved in to [abduct] him. At one point, an officer puts his arm up to Lander’s neck, shoving him against a wall and placing him in handcuffs.” (06/17/25)
