City Comptroller Brad Lander observed immigration hearings Thursday morning at 290 Broadway in Lower Manhattan, then addressed the press afterward, condemning the “lawless” behavior by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who have detained individuals at their routine hearings.
“The last few weeks have been terrifying for New York City’s immigrant communities, for the city itself, this place that has been the greatest immigrant city the world has ever known with an immigrant tradition going back 400 years, and really for the rule of law itself,” Lander said on June 5.
