Zohran has already condemned it and called for Brad's release: bsky.app/profile/zohr...
NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.
This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

To truly live Dr. King's legacy means defending the right to speak truth to power, even when—especially when—that truth makes us uncomfortable.
Even when—especially when—the greater society moves to suppress that speech.

NYU faculty members—including my own doctoral advisor, who guided me toward my future work—have been declared persona non grata for exercising their academic freedom and moral conscience.
NYU students exercising their constitutional right to protest have faced harsh punishment on this very campus.

As deeply proud as I am of this honor in Dr. King's name, today I stand before you with a heavy heart.
This university, my alma mater, where I found my voice as a scholar, leader, public servant, and policymaker, has chosen to silence voices of dissent.
