Video from the scene shows Lander confronting federal agents as they attempted to take a man into custody near 26 Federal Plaza. In the footage, Lander is seen clutching the man’s shoulder and repeatedly demanding to see a judicial warrant.
“Do you have a warrant? Let me see the warrant!” Lander shouted at the agents before he was detained.
The tense scene unfolded outside federal immigration court and was later addressed in a post on Lander’s official Facebook page. The post, shared by his wife, said he had been detained by ICE agents while escorting a defendant out of court.
The incident comes amid growing national tensions over immigration enforcement as the Trump administration ramps up ICE raids and opponents across the country mobilize in protest.
