Police swiftly remove anti-ICE protesters who invaded Trump Tower as nationwide demonstrations intensify

Police in New York City arrested 24 anti-ICE protesters on Monday afternoon after they refused to leave Trump Tower in Manhattan during a demonstration inside.

The demonstrators chanted "Bring Them Back," while they occupied the lobby of the building. They also read the names of the illegal immigrants who were deported to the CECOT maximum security prison in El Salvador.

Video shot by Fox News showed dozens of NYPD officers entering Trump Tower armed with plastic ties hanging from their belts.

In another video, protesters sitting in a circle were warned to leave the building or face arrest. Once the officers approached the protesters, they were told they were subject to arrest.

Police then used plastic ties to detain two dozen protesters from the lobby of the building. The protesters were restrained and then escorted outside and placed into police vans.

It was not immediately clear what–if any–charges the protesters will face.

On Monday, there appeared to be two sets of protesters in The Big Apple. One group attempted to block traffic while the other gathered outside the courts in Lower Manhattan and chanted, "No ICE, No KKK, No Fascist USA."

Anti-ICE protests began to spread across the country on Monday in response to an eruption of violent protests across Los Angeles, which has now entered its fourth day.

The protests in Los Angeles took off on Friday after ICE agents conducted operations across the city, resulting in about 45 people being arrested across several locations, including two Home Depot stores, a store in the fashion district and a doughnut shop.

Words matter. It’s not “anti-ICE”; it’s “pro-illegal immigration.”

These protesters dont actually give a damn about illegals being arrested by ICE and deported. Where was their outrage, at least to this extent, when that was happening under Obama/Biden? To them, this is just another issue with which to exploit in order to defeat the Republican in office.

Recall the loud homeless activist movement under Reagan/Bush. Silent under Clinton. The anti-war movement under Bush, jr. They disappeared and were silent under Obama. The covid death counters under Trump. Silent under Biden.

“Words matter. It’s not “anti-ICE”; it’s “pro-illegal immigration.””

Spoiled “useful idiots” on parade.
