New York City comptroller Brad Lander, a Democratic candidate for mayor, was accosted and arrested by masked federal ICE agents after an immigration court hearing.

The incident comes days after police handcuffed Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., after he was forcibly removed from a press conference that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was holding.
