Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested on Tuesday by ICE agents at an immigration courthouse in lower Manhattan. He was attempting to escort a migrant whom agents were trying to arrest.
Lander was charged with assaulting a federal officer. This is one of several high-profile instances when federal authorities have arrested a Democratic politician — following Sen. Alex Padilla’s (D-CA) arrest last week.
