New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was among the Democrat politicians arrested. Recall that Lander was arrested earlier this summer for blocking ICE agents in the same building.

The other Democrat officials arrested included state legislators in the Senate and Assembly.

Via Fox News Bill Melugin: Per multiple ICE sources, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander and other politicians & protesters are currently trying to get into the 10th floor ICE office & holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC, while other protesters are blocking ICE vans from leaving the facility downstairs.

ICE has had to lock the doors on the 10th floor and now has security posted at the door.
