Lander reportedly told an AP reporter that he was there to accompany some immigrants out of the building. Tuesdays trip to an immigration court was Landers third trip over the last month.
He was arrested, according to video footage of the incident, as he and his staff walked with an immigrant who had their case dismissed pending appeal earlier in the day, per AMNY. The immigrant Lander was walking out of the courtroom with was also arrested.
Additional footage of the arrest shows Lander telling immigration officials: Im not obstructing. Im standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant.
You dont have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant, Lander can be heard saying.
The officials, two of whom were wearing masks, then pinned Lander to a wall and put him in handcuffs. It remains unclear why he was arrested.
