On Sept. 3 ICE intensified arrests at the Lower Manhattan immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza. Agents took multiple people into custody throughout the afternoon, forcibly removing a woman by the wrist and wresting a man out of a courtroom while onlookers reacted in shock. Arrests had been much lower in recent weeks, with some days showing no apprehensions, but ICE returned in force that Wednesday. New York Attorney General Letitia James increased legal action against the Department of Homeland Security, warning that a new DHS policy could allow immigrants facing deportation to be held in federal custody indefinitely.
However, things changed on Wednesday when ICE assembled at 26 Federal Plaza in full force. Almost like a conveyor belt, the ICE agents took one person after another into custody on Wednesday at 26 Federal Plaza. One woman was grabbed by the wrist and pulled away while a man was wrestled out of a courtroom as onlookers clasped their mouths in shock. These arrests took place one after another, well into the afternoon.
