Latest News About Chi Ossé

Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:

• Chi Ossé, a Brooklyn City Council member, was arrested in April 2026 during a protest outside a Bed-Stuy eviction site tied to a deed-theft dispute. Multiple outlets reported that Ossé was among several protesters who blocked an eviction and faced charges including obstruction of governmental administration and disorderly conduct.[2][3][5]
• Video footage circulated showing Ossé being restrained and taken into custody, with his team framing the incident as part of broader concerns about deed theft and housing displacement of Black homeowners in Brooklyn.[1][5][2]
• After his release, Ossé described the arrest as 'manhandled' and indicated he would file a misconduct report, while city officials publicly expressed concern about the footage and said they would review the incident with the Police Commissioner.[3][1]

If you’d like, I can pull additional sources or summarize the ongoing developments and any official statements from Ossé’s office, Mayor Mamdani, or the NYPD. I can also locate the latest local coverage in Buffalo-area outlets for comparison or context if that helps.

Would you like a concise timeline of the events or a brief map of key players and their positions?
