Anti-ICE protesters mob NYC hospital as 9 activists arrested in chaotic clash with law enforcement

A mob of about 200 anti-ICE protesters blocked emergency entrances and exits to a Brooklyn hospital Saturday night in a chaotic caught-on-video clash with cops that ended in nine arrests, cops said.

The out-of-control activists descended on the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Bushwick when they got wind that federal immigration agents were in the neighborhood and had taken a man in their custody to the hospital for medical attention, wrote Democratic City Councilwoman Sandy Nurse, who was at the violent event, on X.

The unruly protesters quickly flooded the streets in front of and around the hospital to try to block the ICE agents from eventually leaving with the man โ€” illegal Nigerian migrant Chidozie Wilson Okeke, who was previously arrested for assault and drug posession, according to the US Department of Homeland Security.

โ€œThey were blocking hospital entrances and exits, so emergency vehicles would have trouble coming in and out,โ€™โ€™ an NYPD rep said.

Cops responded to the mayhem around 10:25 p.m., police said.

Officers on the scene requested that protesters disperse and step back onto the sidewalk, cops said.

But tensions between cops and protesters quickly heated up, leading to an hours-long standoff between the groups.

Videos on social media show scenes of bedlam around the hospital, with protesters jeering and yelling obscenities at cops as they threw trash cans and debris on the street to try to disrupt traffic.

A protester who tossed garbage at a moving vehicle unrelated to the ICE operation was quickly cuffed, police said.

Someone could die. If so, who will be held accountable?

Were the locals needing medical attention/trying to visit loved ones okay with this nonsense??

When will they stand up against these paid thugs?

This is getting towards the equivalent of shelling Ft. Sumter.

Only 9 arrested? Should have ordered a dozen paddy wagons and arrested every one of them for interfering with patient access to emergency care!

The chaos came to its peak when ICE agents left the hospital with Okeke around 2 a.m. Sunday, dousing some protesters with pepper spray and speeding away in an SUV.

All that for naught. The illegal alien will STILL get deported.

Way to go, liberals! Support illegal aliens and
show those conservatives a thing or two.

Trump, ICE, and Republicans.

It’s going to be hard to order the local police to not assist and clear the malcontents away from the hospital doors. In pretty much every hospital in the world, the police department has very close and personal ties with local hospital personnel, particularly ER staffers.

I would like to see a fair-minded politician address this crowd with a statement like: “We think peaceful protest is great. Now can I ask each of you this question. How many of you could possibly take in a small family to your homes? Please raise your hands. This could help many families. ANY hands?”

Wait, so they heard rumors ICE took some to get medical care, so naturally blocked city residents who could be having a life threatening medical emergency from getting the care they need. Got it.

The should be shot onsite and any survivors should get refused care from the hospital.

It’s time for the FBI to start arresting these insurrectionist sh*t birds and make them start paying taxes on their riot earnings or have ICE START ARREST THE BASS TURDS AND START BOOTING THEIR ASSES BACK ACROSS THE BORDER WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

HAVE AND ICE DAY!

Support ICE and the CBP!!! The are fighting against the criminal invasion from Mehico FOR US!!!
