New York police arrest anti-ICE protesters at Trump Tower
New York City police on Monday arrested 24 people who staged a sit-in at the lobby of Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan to protest against deportations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
This is according to multiple media reports.
Protesters demanded that President Donald Trump’s administration bring back everyone deported to El Salvador and return them to their families so they could receive due process in court.
“Bring them back! Bring them home!’’ chanted the protesters as police officers placed them in zip-tie handcuffs and police vans.
Police also arrested a few anti-ICE protesters around Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan on Monday, following the arrest of around 10 such protesters on Saturday.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on Monday that violent protests like the ongoing anti-ICE clash in Los Angeles would not be tolerated, and New York City would always be a place to peacefully protest.
