At least 80 people detained during anti-ICE protests: NYPD ...Middle East

MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) – At least 80 people were taken into custody Tuesday night during anti-ICE protests in Lower Manhattan, according to the NYPD.

Police said the protest at the New York ICE Bureau in Federal Plaza had one of the largest crowds they've seen since immigration rallies began. Protesters were accused of blocking the building’s entrance, throwing metal trash cans at white ICE vans and assaulting and cursing out officers, according to authorities.

New York City Council is asking for an independent investigation into the NYPD to see if the agency has been involved with any violations of sanctuary laws.

“Disturbing reports reveal the NYPD is sharing information with Trump’s ICE for immigration enforcement, which violates NYC law,” Council Speaker Adrienne Adams wrote on X.

The NYPD and Mayor Eric Adams both released statements, saying they do not engage in civil immigration enforcement.

“Let’s be abundantly clear: the Adams administration follows local law and does not cooperate with ICE on civil deportation matters. Period. Full stop,” Adams’ office said.

“The NYPD does not engage in civil immigration enforcement, period. As it has for many years, the NYPD works with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies on criminal investigations, including work on federal criminal task forces. That work is critical to getting dangerous individuals out of our communities, protecting our city from terrorism, and keeping our families safe,” the NYPD said.

In Los Angeles, President Donald Trump ordered the National Guard and 700 Marines to handle violent protests. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has also issued a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. for parts of the city.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom argued that Trump is “traumatizing our communities” with his handling of the rallies.

Councilmembers are planning to hold a news conference outside of City Hall at 10:30 a.m. to address ICE activity in the city.
