NY Dem’s ‘Arrest’ Was Just for Show!

In a stunning display of political theater masquerading as activism, Democrat and New York City mayoral hopeful Brad Lander was caught on video clinging to federal ICE officers as they attempted to carry out their lawful duty at an immigration court—brazenly demanding a judicial warrant and obstructing law enforcement in real time. Lander’s reckless stunt, which led to his brief arrest for allegedly assaulting an immigration officer, is now being glorified by the radical left as courageous, while many see it for what it truly is: a calculated bid for attention just days before the election. With early voting underway, critics like Councilman Joe Borelli call it a desperate move to garner headlines and solidify liberal support. Meanwhile, ICE officers—already facing a staggering 413% surge in assaults—must now contend with grandstanding politicians willing to risk law enforcement safety for viral fame and political gain.
