Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office shared surveillance footage with Gothamist that shows the lead-up to last week’s dramatic confrontation between his staff and U.S. Department of Homeland Security officers, which ended with a congressional aide being handcuffed. The security camera video depicts an overhead view of the reception area in Nadler’s Manhattan office and does not capture audio.

ICE has detained an 11th grader from a high school in Ridgewood, Queens after a routine immigration court hearing, @SenGianaris says.
Just received word that ICE has detained an 11th grader from Ridgewood’s Grover Cleveland High School after a routine immigration hearing. Apprehending minors in courthouses and separating them from their families is unacceptable, and I join the school in calling for his release
