‘No One Is Above the Law:’ ICE Agents Arrest NYC Democrat Mayoral Candidate Accused of Trying to Shield Illegal Alien from Arrest



by John Binder 17 Jun 2025

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:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
