NYC Comptroller Brad Lander Detained by ICE Agents in Federal Building

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was reportedly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at a federal building in New York City. Video footage shows Mr. Lander being escorted through a crowded hallway by several agents, while bystanders filmed the incident and questioned the agents' authority, asking if they possessed a judicial warrant for the detention. The individual who shared the video highlighted the aggressive nature of the detention and expressed concerns about what he described as an increasing trend of ICE agents detaining US citizens without proper protocol. He cited other recent alleged detentions of American citizens, including a three-year-old child in Los Angeles, as examples of this concerning pattern. The incident involving Comptroller Lander has sparked debate regarding the scope of ICE's authority and its enforcement practices.
