New York Attorney General Letitia James has denounced the recent arrest of Comptroller Brad Lander, labeling it as 'profoundly unacceptable.' She criticized ICE for their actions at the Manhattan federal courthouse, asserting that Lander's only 'crime' was supporting immigrant rights. James emphasized that no individual should feel fear within courthouse walls, condemning this situation as a severe misuse of authority. Both Lander and James have a history of serving in the Brooklyn City Council, highlighting their local engagement and commitment to civic rights amid escalating tensions concerning immigrant treatment.
Arresting Comptroller Lander for the simple act of standing up for immigrants and their civil rights is a shocking abuse of power.
No one should face fear and intimidation in a courthouse, and this is a grotesque escalation of tensions.
