NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander released after immigration court arrest<br /><br />New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was detained for several hours after being arrested at an immigration court on Tuesday (June 17), the latest politician opposed to US President Donald Trump's immigration raids to get caught up with law enforcement.<br /><br />Lander, who is among 11 Democratic candidates seeking to replace current Mayor Eric Adams, was released after New York's Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul went to the courthouse. She left the building with Lander and said charges had been dropped against him.<br /><br />Lander, the city's chief financial officer, said he had been escorting a defendant out of immigration court when he was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. He said he was "fine," only losing a button on his shirt as he was arrested by federal agents.<br /><br />REUTERS VIDEO<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher<br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#WorldNews<br />#NYC<br />#Immigration
