New York City Comptroller and Democrat mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Tuesday as he allegedly attempted to shield an illegal alien from being detained by federal agents inside a federal immigration courthouse in Manhattan.
The incident occurred Tuesday morning as Lander showed up to the courthouse to observe immigration hearings involving illegal aliens facing deportation. After one such illegal alien left a courtroom, Lander walked arm-in-arm with him as ICE agents sought to arrest him.
AmNY reports that Lander moved in to shield the illegal alien from being arrested by the ICE agents, which prompted the agents to take Lander into custody:
