An aide to US Representative Jerry Nadler<\/strong> (D-NY) was handcuffed and briefly detained by Department of Homeland Security police in his Manhattan office on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The video of the incident, first shared and reported<\/a> on by Gothamist\u2019s Arya Sundaram<\/strong> on Friday, shows DHS officers entering Nadler\u2019s district office and accusing staff members of \u201charboring rioters.\u201d An aide, whose face was blurred out, is crying while being handcuffed.<\/p>\n

According to Robert Gottheim<\/strong>, Nadler\u2019s chief of staff, who spoke<\/a> with The New York Times<\/em>, the federal agents were angry because the congressman\u2019s team had seen the officers detaining migrants in the building\u2014Nadler\u2019s office is one floor above a federal immigration court\u2014and because his staff had invited advocates who had also witnessed the detentions into the representative\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

\n

The aide was not arrested and not charged with a crime, both Nadler’s office and a DHS spokesperson confirmed to Gothamist.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Trump administration is trying to intimidate members of Congress,\u201d Nadler told the Times<\/em> in an interview on Saturday. \u201cThey\u2019re behaving like fascists.\u201d President Donald Trump<\/strong> and his administration are using \u201ctotalitarian or even authoritarian practices\u201d Nadler said. \u201cWe have to fight them. We don\u2019t want to be a fascist country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DHS statement on Thursday made no mention of Nadler\u2019s team \u201charboring rioters,\u201d as the agents claimed the day before. Instead, according to the statement, the agents entered Nadler\u2019s office because they had been told that protesters were there and were concerned for the safety of his staff members.<\/p>\n

Two immigration advocates present at the time, who asked Gothamist to remain anonymous, said that they were at the courthouse advising migrants as plainclothes ICE officers were questioning people there for court appearances. The advocates say they were threatened with arrest for loitering by the officers and were then invited, along with another advocate, to Nadler\u2019s office by his staff.<\/p>\n

In the video, a staff member who was not detained is standing in a doorway and asks one of the agents to show her a warrant. The agent claims the officers do not need a warrant and walks past her. Another officer, the one handcuffing the aide, is heard telling her not to resist. The aide is heard asking officers, \u201cWhat\u2019s your problem?\u201d adding, \u201cthey\u2019re here for a meeting. They\u2019re constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
