The New York City Police Department arrested about two dozen protesters at Manhattan’s Trump Tower who were demonstrating against the White House’s position on immigration policy.
At least 24 protesters were detained on trespassing charges after refusing to comply with police, who had warned them they would be arrested if they didn’t leave the Fifth Avenue building, according to the New York Daily News.
Another seven protesters were arrested during a demonstration outside the federal U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services district office in New York City on Monday evening. Roughly 200 people participated in an “ICE out of NYC” protest outside the building, where ICE detainees are being held, per ABC 7.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said during a press conference responding to the demonstrations in the Big Apple that they stood ready to crack down on any “violence and lawlessness.”
“At the New York City Police Department, we know how to police protests in a manner that maintains public safety and upholds the law,” Tisch said.
