New York City Council member, Chi Ossé, was arrested in Brooklyn after protesting the eviction of a woman from her home in his district. Ossé was charged with two counts of disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration. His office claims he was trying to help a constituent who was at risk of losing her home. The incident occurred during a protest against what she alleges is an act of deed theft, which she and her fellow councilmember, Carmella Charrington, have claimed is up 300% in NYC and disproportionately targets senior citizens and communities of color. The state attorney general's office has denied that the property dispute is a case of deed Theft, stating it does not have jurisdiction to intervene in such a legal dispute.
