New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested Tuesday by Department of Homeland Security agents on allegations of assaulting a federal officer.<\/p>\n

Hours later, Lander was released from the federal courthouse, where he was joined by New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D). At a news conference outside the courthouse, Hochul announced that charges against Lander had been dropped.<\/p>\n

However, the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Southern District of New York stated it is still \u201ccontinuing to investigate\u201d Lander\u2019s conduct.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur heroic ICE law enforcement officers face a 413% increase in assaults against them\u2014it is wrong that politicians seeking higher office undermine law enforcement safety to get a viral moment,\u201d a DHS spokesperson said. \u201cNo one is above the law, and if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will face consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Video footage of Lander\u2019s arrest appears to show him holding onto Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as they escorted a defendant from immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, repeatedly questioning whether the officials had a judicial warrant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will let go when you show me the judicial warrant!\u201d Lander said in the video. \u201cWhere is it?! Where is the warrant?!\u201d<\/p>\n
