Here is a list of Democrats who have been arrested, detained or charged under Trump

Data: Axios research; Table: Kavya Beheraj/AxiosA growing number of congressional and local officials have been handcuffed or charged over incidents related to the Trump administration's immigration agenda. The big picture: The arrests and charges of elected Democrats have led party leaders to warn the president is driving democracy to the edge. But the shows of force, including during anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles last week, have also given Trump's MAGA base and advisers exactly what they wanted.New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander's arrest by federal agents Tuesday outside federal immigration court comes nearly eight weeks after the first high-profile arrest involving Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan.The string of incidents underscores Trump's desire to use federal law enforcement and his military authority as he sees fit — even if they've raised the profile of some of the Democrats involved. Trump administration officials have defended their actions and dismissed the arrested officials' behavior as opportunities to "get a viral moment."State of play: Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested in late April for allegedly trying to help an undocumented defendant avoid arrest. She has pleaded not guilty to federal charges.Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) were arrested at a protest in May at an ICE detention center. While officials later dropped the case against Baraka, McIver is expected to plead not guilty to charges.Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) called Trump a "tyrant" in remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday, days after he was dragged away in handcuffs during a Homeland Security press conference last week. The senator had been trying to ask a question, and he was not arrested. Zoom out: The administration has flip-flopped on some of its immigration enforcement tactics in recent days, including whether ICE raids will take place at hotels, farms, meatpacking plants and restaurants.After backtracking over the weekend on raiding certain workplaces under pressure from businesses, the president said a new wave of raids would target immigrants in Democrat-run cities,By Monday, the exempted workplaces appeared to be back as subject to raids.The Pentagon said Tuesday that another 700 military personnel were sent to aid immigration enforcement in Florida, Louisiana and Texas.Go deeper: Trump gets back behind raids in immigration whiplash
