NYC MELTS ICE | Anti ICE Protests

 

The anti‑ICE protests in New York City have surged over the past week as part of a wider wave of national demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and mass deportations. The New York City protests are part of a broader national pushback against intensified ICE activity. Across the U.S., demonstrations have erupted in major cities—Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco—many culminating in large rallies, mass arrests, and police intervention . Organizers in NYC and elsewhere are drawing inspiration from the solidarity tactics of the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement, emphasizing decentralized organizing, mutual aid, and sustained resistance.

A couple of days ago, I chanced on large crowds walking down Sixth Avenue, Varick and Hudson Streets. Here are some of scenes I photographed.
