In Lower Manhattan, multiple protesters opposing potential Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities were arrested on Saturday, as they blocked vehicles and chanted “ICE out of New York.” The NYPD reported that despite multiple dispersal requests, the protesters did not comply, leading to arrests, though specific numbers and charges were not disclosed. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson described the protesters as “violent agitators” obstructing federal officers. This protest followed a previous ICE operation targeting vendors on Canal Street, which resulted in several arrests.
