“We Shall Not Be Moved”: Nearly a dozen arrested in anti-ICE protest outside NY immigration facility
About a dozen New York state and local elected officials were arrested Thursday during protests outside a Manhattan building housing holding cells operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The facility was cited by a federal judge for inhumane conditions.
New York City Comptroller Brad Lander and 10 state lawmakers were taken into custody inside 26 Federal Plaza after they were denied entry to inspect the 10th-floor cells. A group was there to “ensure compliance” with a court order on Thursday requiring ICE to improve conditions at the lock-up, protest organizers said.
More than 75 people were detained by city police and federal agents. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security put the number of overall arrests at 71.
The incident was the latest clash between federal authorities and Democratic politicians opposed to the immigration policies of President Donald Trump.
