Later that day, protesters gathered outside of the federal building, demonstrating against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Another officer is at a door trying to enter a private area of the office while a staffer asks for a warrant.

In a dramatic incident captured on video, U.S. Department of Homeland Security police Wednesday handcuffed one of Rep. Jerry Nadler aides in the congressmember's Manhattan office, which is in the same federal office building as an immigration courthouse.

The staff member was not arrested and not charged with any crime, both Nadler's office and a DHS spokesperson confirmed.

In a brief telephone interview, the staffer who'd been handcuffed said that “everything resolved” and declined to comment further.

Nadler’s office is on the sixth floor in the same Varick Street building as federal immigration court, which is on the fifth floor.

The statement said the officers “were granted entry and encountered four individuals,” but did not specify who the four were. »
