The video does not capture any interactions between #Nadler’s staff & #DHS police before the staffer was handcuffed. But 2 advocates who were present as the events unfolded described officers questioning people as they left #immigration court & threatening advocates as they intervened. Both people asked Gothamist not to use their names, saying they fear retaliation by the federal govt.

In the video of the confrontation at #Nadler’s office, the handcuffed staff member says that there were constituents present in the office for a meeting. Those constituents later identified themselves in interviews w/Gothamist as #ImmigrantRights advocates monitoring activities in the building, including outside the federal #immigration courtrooms.

2 people who were at the courthouse to monitor #ICE activity said the confrontation came after ICE officers threatened to #arrest them & other advocates, & a #Nadler staffer invited the advocates inside.
Nadler’s office is on the 6th floor in the same Varick Street building as federal #immigration court, which is on the 5th floor. The building also houses #DHS & other federal offices.

…“While no arrests were made & the situation was quickly deescalated, I am alarmed by the aggressive & heavy-handed tactics #DHS is employing in NYC & across the country. The decision to enter a congressional office & detain a staff member demonstrates a deeply troubling disregard for proper #legal boundaries,” Rep #JerryNadler said in a stmnt.

In the video,…#DHS officers entered #JerryNadler’s district office & accused staff members of “harboring rioters.” A Nadler staffer is seen crying & being handcuffed. Another officer is at a door trying to enter a private area of the office while a staffer asks for a #warrant.
