Anti-ICE insurrection spreads to NYC, dozens of arrests made

The Democrat insurrection against the enforcement of federal immigration law is spreading with left-wing activists hitting the streets in New York City to protest President Donald J. Trump’s efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens.

As violent riots continued to rage in Los Angeles with no end in sight, an angry activist mob turned out with thousands of miscreants descending upon Foley Square on Tuesday to demand an end to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the Big Apple and throughout the United States.

Initial peacefulness and order predictably degenerated into chaos with crazed leftists clashing with law enforcement, screaming and hurling debris at police in an ugly scene that resulted in dozens of arrests.

The protests began near a large building in Lower Manhattan where federal immigration offices and the main immigration court are housed, with members of the mob carrying signs with slogans including “Abolish ICE” and “ICE out of New York!” the New York Post reported. Chants of “Brick by brick, wall by wall, this racist system has got to fall!” rang out.

“We’re here to say that we want full rights for all immigrants. We want to stop the raids and the deportations, and get the National Guard and the military out of L.A.,” one proclaimed, according to CBS News.

“I might end up getting arrested today, hopefully not. I’m not here to fight. I’m here to protest. I am here to speak up. There’s a lot of people that are afraid, and we shouldn’t be afraid,” another said.

Some were clad in the checkered keffiyehs worn by Hamas supporters, showing the readiness of leftists to flock together for any action that furthers the larger unifying cause of anti-Trump hate and societal destabilization.

Just look at what these Keffiyeh-wearing freaks are doing all over America. This is another protest in New York. The same thing is seen in London, Paris, LA, and everywhere.

This isn’t peaceful protesting.
This is a full-blown Intifada.

The New York Post reported that there were over 80 people arrested, citing police sources.

On Monday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams condemned the LA mayhem as “unacceptable” and warned that similar behavior won’t be tolerated in Gotham.

“The escalation of protests in Los Angeles over the last couple of days is unacceptable and would not be tolerated if attempted in our city,” said Adams at a press conference with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.

“I want to assure all New Yorkers that we have the best police department in the world. Men and women who are prepared to handle any issues that may arise, especially when we are faced with deep division in our society,” added Hizzoner, a former police officer.

“Let me be crystal clear: We have no tolerance for violence, none. We have no tolerance for property damage. We have no tolerance for people blocking entrances to buildings or blocking driveways, or blocking cars from moving. And any attacks against law enforcement will be met with a swift and decisive response from the NYPD,” Commissioner Tisch said.

Protests are also taking place in other Democrat-controlled cities, including Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle, with widespread national anti-Trump demonstrations set to take place over the weekend, with the potential for an explosion in the type of violence seen in LA being a serious possibility.
