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.

Brad Lander received widespread support after his arrest on Tuesday, but it’s unclear how it will affect his third-place campaign for mayor of New York City.

Brad Lander has made several trips to immigration court recently, after DHS began dismissing asylum cases effectively 'stripping people of their asylum seeker status,' he says.
