Mayoral candidate Brad Lander was cuffed and detained by ICE agents after asking to see a warrant for people who were detained after an immigration hearing. Video from the city comptroller’s press secretary Chloe Chik (Bristow). She says he’s still being held in 26 Federal Plaza.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Most don’t realize Brad Lander goes to immigration court to accompany immigrants because ICE agents wait in hallways and by elevators to detain those without lawyers. ICE operates in the shadows. But when most Americans see the reality of mass deportation, they don't support it.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

"Anti-semitism is such a real issue in this city, and it has been hard to see it weaponized by candidates who do not seem to have any sincere interest in tackling it, but rather in using it as a pretext to make political points."

The concept of Zohran Mamdani winning the NYC democratic primary for mayor on the 10th anniversary of E•mo•tion by Carly Rae Jepsen…

"Not long ago, Mamdani’s campaign seemed like a long shot, with most people thinking it would be Andrew Cuomo’s race to lose — and in the end, it was." thecut.com/article/new-yo…

The new Golden Bachelor, 66-year-old Mel Owens, said he would not date women over 60 and told producers to ‘stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs.’ thecut.com/article/golden…

It's journalistic malpractice to not follow up by asking for a specific example.

Mamdani got more votes in the *first* round than Eric Adams received in the *final* round four years ago—that was when Adams (along with liberal pundits) declared himself the new face of the Democratic Party.
