GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK, KATHY HOCHUL, SPEAKING TO PRESS 3. NEW YORK CITY MAYORAL CANDIDATE BRAD LANDER SPEAKING TO PRESSNEW YORK, US - JUNE 17: New York City mayoral candidate and city comptroller Brad Lander was released Tuesday, June 17, after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents outside an immigration courtroom in Manhattan. Governor of New York Kathy Hochul and Brad Lander held a press conference in front of the Federal Plaza following his release. "I will be fine but... the rule of law is not fine, and our constitutional democracy is not fine," Lander told journalists. Lander's arrest comes as ICE agents are conducting immigration raids across the United States as part of President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration. ICE agents have been detaining migrants at the federal courthouse in Manhattan for weeks, with Lander one of the more prominent officials observing immigration proceedings. The ICE raids have led to widespread protests across the US, most notably in the state of California, where Trump has deployed thousands of National Guard troops and US Marines to assist with federal immigration officials in Los Angeles.
Students on college campuses last year gathered to protest military actions by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza. Fearing retribution and targeting by universities, police and others for their speech, many of the students donned masks to cover their faces.
