New York City council member arrested during eviction protest
Police arrested Chi Ossé after he tried to stop a court-ordered eviction tied to a long-running deed dispute, and about 50 protesters were ordered to disperse.
- On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, New York City Councilmember Chi Ossé was arrested in Brooklyn while blocking the eviction of his constituent, Carmella Charrington, from a disputed Jefferson Avenue brownstone.
- Video shows officers forcing Ossé to the ground, and he is being treated for a head injury. Fellow Council members Alexa Avilés, Tiffany Cabán, and Shahana Hanif wrote, "We are outraged by the violent arrest of our colleague."
- The NYPD charged Ossé with obstruction and disorderly conduct; New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the arrest "incredibly concerning," noting deed theft is "especially prevalent" in the district.
- Ossé has pushed for an eviction moratorium, arguing, "No one should be forced out while the courts are still determining whether a home was stolen," as the incident reflects broader struggles over generational wealth protection.
