Protests against ICE arrests in New York City continued for a second day, with thousands gathering at Foley Square to voice their anger over Trump's immigration policies. The crowd demanded that ICE cease its operations in the city, emphasizing the broad community impact of these actions. Brooklyn City Council Member Alexa Aviles galvanized the protesters, stressing the importance of unity and organization. Clashes between demonstrators and police broke out, leading to multiple arrests amid heightened emotions as participants sought to secure the release of detained individuals at 26 Federal Plaza.
We are going to stand up and fight back with everything we have. Because if you think that this issue is not about you, you are mistaken. This issue is about you, it is about your neighbors, Brooklyn City Council Member Alexa Aviles told the masses.
While thousands took to the streets marching in protest of what many are calling kidnappings, hundreds of others stood behind at 26 Federal Plaza where they demanded the release of those still being detained inside.
A massive mobilization of police officers, some in riot gear, met the massive crowd. Before long, isolated clashes between cops and demonstrators broke out as the tension of the moment boiled.
