ABC News reports 71 arrests, including NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, two state senators, and nine assembly members, during a protest at 26 Federal Plaza targeting ICE’s 10th-floor holding facility. DHS accused Lander of obstructing law enforcement; organizers say officials sought oversight of detainee conditions. Those arrested were expected to receive summonses and be released. The building was later locked down following a bomb threat amid ongoing protests and a recent federal court order requiring improved conditions at the site.
