Israel held then released Brad Lander and dozens of Americans, Israelis in West Bank : NPR

"We were on private Palestinian land. We were with the farmers whose land it is. There's no obligation to coordinate with the Israeli military," Lander told NPR and WBUR's Here & Now. "This was the IDF making it impossible for these poor Palestinian farmers to harvest their olive trees," he added, using the initials for the Israeli military…

"Let us be clear about what happened here: Rather than protecting Palestinian farmers and ensuring their right to work their own land, the Israeli military forcibly removed those who came to provide a protective presence," T'ruah CEO Rabbi Jill Jacobs said in a statement. "This is an outrageous abuse of power, and part of a systematic, state-backed campaign of ethnic cleansing aimed at driving Palestinians from their land," she said.

New York City mayoral candidate Brad Lander released from federal custody | New York | The Guardian

"We have to be clear that, in [Lander's] ask and in their response, we saw that Ice has no interest in the law, it has no interest in order.

"[Ice] only has an interest in terrorizing people across this country. In this exact moment, New Yorkers and Americans are looking to leaders to meet this moment, to showcase the courage that is necessary," he said, before adding:

"This is not about an election. This is about ensuring that we protect the city and the country that we love. This is about ensuring that immigrant New Yorkers who come here for regular check-ins do not need to fear being separated from their families in the most brutal and cruel ways imaginable. We know that today's arrest is but one example of what Ice is doing every single day across this country."…
