An aide to Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., was briefly detained after confronting Department of Homeland Security officials in Manhattan.

According to a DHS statement, a Federal Protective Service officer showed up at Nadler’s Lower Manhattan office Wednesday because they were concerned about the safety of the federal employees in an office.

“Upon arrival, officers were granted entry and encountered four individuals. Officers identified themselves and explained their intent to conduct a security check, however, one individual became verbally confrontational and physically blocked access to the office,” DHS said in a statement. “The officers then detained the individual in the hallway for the purpose of completing the security check. All were released without further incident.”
