Eleven elected officials were arrested Thursday afternoon at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan following a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to state Sen. Julia Salazar's office.

The 11 officials were among more than 75 arrested by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and NYPD.

Salazar's office says New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, State Sens. Gustavo Rivera, Jabari Brisport, Salazar herself and Assembly Members Robert Carroll, Emily Gallagher, Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas, Marcela Mitaynes, Claire Valdez, Tony Simone and Steven Raga were arrested.

Salazar's office said that "ICE officials denied entry to the group after attempting to conduct oversight of the 10th floor to ensure compliance with the latest preliminary injunction ruling."

Public Advocate Jumaane Williams was among 66 New Yorkers, faith leaders, doctors and other elected officials who were arrested outside Federal Plaza.

The protest comes a day after "courts ruled that the 10th floor must significantly improve conditions for people detained by ICE at 26 Federal Plaza."

An earlier post on social media platform X by Rivera says he and other officials were at Federal Plaza "to demand access to the 10th floor, where people are being detained & block ICE vans from leaving. We refuse to stand by while ICE abducts our neighbors. Neither should our leaders."

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security released the following statement on agitators and sanctuary politicians' attempt to obstruct law enforcement at 26 Federal Plaza in New York, New York. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the following:

“Another day, another sanctuary politician pulling a stunt in attempt to get their 15 minutes of fame while endangering DHS personnel and detainees.

“Here are the facts: Brad Lander showed up to 26 Federal Plaza unannounced with agitators and media and proceeded to obstruct law enforcement and cause a scene. He yelled inside the building that he was ‘not leaving’ until detainees were ‘released.’ As a result of the chaos caused by Lander, Federal Protective Service called NYPD, and local police along with federal law enforcement arrested 71 agitators and sanctuary politicians including Brad Lander, two New York State Senators, and nine New York State Assembly Members. And now the building is on lockdown because someone called in a bomb threat.

Detainees currently being processed at 26 Federal Plaza, which Lander and activists were demanding be released into the public, include:

“Brad Lander’s obsession with attacking the brave men and women of law enforcement, physically and rhetorically, must stop NOW. The men and women of ICE put their lives on the line every day to arrest violent criminal illegal aliens to protect and defend the lives of American citizens. This type of rhetoric is contributing to the 1000% surge in assaults of ICE officers through this repeated vilification and demonization of ICE."
