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.

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

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

"Following social media posts calling agitators to ICE’s location in New York City, individuals dressed in black clothing with backpacks, face masks, and goggles showed up and began to obstruct federal law enforcement officers including by blocking the parking garage,"

"handing out whistles to be used when agents are seen in the area"
