"ICE arresting Brad Lander for asking questions is a stunning abuse of power and a threat to our democracy."
"This arrest sends an unmistakably authoritarian message - that ICE doesn't care about the rule of law."
The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) has strongly condemned the arrest of City Comptroller Brad Lander by Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officials after he requested to see a judicial warrant. Executive Director Donna Lieberman characterized the arrest as a grave misapplication of power and intimidation against a public official. She emphasized that such actions undermine the democratic process and threaten the rights of individuals standing against ICE's authority. Lander, who has a background in urban planning and past experience as a City Councilmember, is recognized for overseeing the city's budget and accountability.
