New York: Dozens Arrested in Protest Against ICE

Dozens of people were arrested in New York during a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The protests took place nationwide following federal immigration operations in Minneapolis that resulted in the deaths of two American citizens, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretty. The demonstrators gathered in the lobby of a Hilton hotel, believed to be housing federal immigration enforcement agents, and displayed signs and photos of people who died in ICE custody. The protest was an expression of anger and grief over the consequences of immigration policies.
