New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was detained after an incident inside an immigration court in the city, a spokesperson for his mayoral campaign told NBC News Tuesday — the latest in a series of high-profile clashes between immigration officials and Democratic politicians.

Kat Capossela, Lander’s press secretary, told NBC News in an email that “Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE,” a reference to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, after “escorting a defendant out of immigration court.”

Two-Face, assaulting an Arkham Asylum employee, is confronted by Catwoman over an action he allegedly did, only to have it reveal that it wasn't him that did it. This is to lead up to a post I really want to post but wanted to make this first as I didn't want to backtrack.

🚨 URGENT SOS: OUR ENSLAVED AFRICAN YOUTH IN LIBYA 🚨

The horrors, the unbearable images, and the videos of our enslaved African youth coming out of Libya should concern everyone. They have been detained for over seven consecutive months, without judicial review, without legal representation, without evidence of any crime — except their will to live a dignified life, which took them through Libya on their way to the so-called democratic Europe.

This is an SOS. This is a cry for help. This must be shared widely.

⛓️ They are enslaved. ⚠️ They are tortured. 🚫 They are forgotten unless we speak.

Share this everywhere. Their lives depend on it.
