For the second time in just over a month, a large-scale raid by dozens of immigration agents in New York City was met with a similarly large-scale counter-protest. This time, however, the protesters thwarted the authorities' plans before they began. 

Multiple arrests were made on Saturday during scuffles on the edge of Chinatown, during which hundreds of protesters faced off with federal agents and the New York Police Department (NYPD) as they prepared to launch a raid in the area

It comes just a month after a raid by 50 federal agents using military-style vehicles stormed Canal Street in Lower Manhattan, and was met with a protest of hundreds in response.

The mass counter-protest of some 200 people, according to the New York Times, demonstrates the challenges federal authorities will face in enforcing Trump’s hardline immigration crackdown in a city that is rooted in its immigrant identity.

We all need to fight back.

More importantly, you all CAN fight back. Easily. You are many,, they are few.

Why is the NYPD helping ICE? Hasn't the mayor banned them from doing so? If not I would hope the future mayor will issue a no-helpy-ice order to them.

(DHS) gathered in a parking garage in a federal building on the edge of Chinatown in preparation for a raid.

Videos of the incident show protesters blocking the agents as they try to leave the garage in their cars. The crowd then swells to the hundreds, as more NYPD officers arrive.

Later, according to reports, federal agents emerged from the garage and assisted the NYPD in detaining protesters

And all paid for with tax dollars.

Eric Adams went full team Trump to get his federal corruption investigation stopped, including fully supporting ICE raids in NYC. Long time federal lawyers resigned rather than drop the case, but they were replaced by sychophants.

So no, the current mayor isnt opposed.

I knew the response to ICE in NYC would be more intense than the more spread out cities to the west. “The map is not the territory” this city has a lot of people opposed to the idea of ICE and what they are doing. It’s also not surprising that federal agents are calling any protest of their actions “violent rioters” and “agitators” the pattern here is escalation from the authorities; they escalate to violence no matter how peaceful the opposition
