A major anti-ICE demonstration unfolded in New York City, drawing thousands who rallied against recent immigration enforcement actions. As protest marches coursed through downtown, law enforcement reported at least 15 arrests tied to disorderly conduct and confrontations.
Protesters chanted grievances and choked a federal building entrance, with some linking arms to block entrances and impede federal staff. Police intervened to break group formations and made arrests when individuals refused to comply with orders to disperse.
While most participants dispersed peacefully following police directives, a subset faced charges of obstructing officers and resisting arrest. Authorities emphasized that the protest largely remained orderly despite isolated incidents of disruption.
The protest marked the latest in a nationwide wave of demonstrations sparked by immigration raids, reflecting deepening tensions over border policy and discourse on protest boundaries across U.S. cities.
