How 200 New Yorkers Foiled an ICE Raid Before It Even Began

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

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, eventually supported by 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 nearby Canal Street in Lower Manhattan, and was met with a protest of hundreds in response.

The confrontation also comes amid a reported surge in activity by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the city in recent weeks, despite a friendly encounter between the Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump earlier this month that appeared to avert a showdown over the issue.

1. Keep it up ICEholes your day of reckoning is coming,

sooner or later, y'all will stand before a jury of your peers and have to answer for the tyranny you and Pedonald have unleashed against humanity.

4. No matter how much he wants to schmooze with Trump

Mamdani must surely realize that he was elected by the people of New York, and not Trump.

The only popular outpourings of citizens to ICE actions in New York City have been in opposition to those ICE actions. There have been no groups cheering them on. It is therefore clear that the people of New York City do not want ICE around. Mamdani either sides with them or he sides with Trump. My bet is he sides with his constituency. I can’t imagine he made this great effort to get elected as mayor just to risk massive demonstrations calling for his resignation before he even takes office.
