The DHS posted on X citing a tweet from Lander, regarding President Donald Trump’s conviction in 2024, to explain why he was arrested, alleging that he had acted violently toward ICE officials. Video of the incident merely shows Lander attempting to continue to stay arm-in-arm with the defendant.

“[ICE] only has an interest in terrorizing people across this country. In this exact moment, New Yorkers and Americans are looking to leaders to meet this moment, to showcase the courage that is necessary … [Brad Lander] showed us what leadership can look like and for that he was arrested.”

Zohran Mamdani made an appearance at the press conference to speak out against Lander’s arrest. The two candidates have cross-endorsed each other in the citywide ranked-choice vote. “This is fascism, and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” Mamdani said. “Release him now.”
