The group rallied near a building that houses an immigration court, which has become a flashpoint amid the arrest of migrants in courthouses.
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Lower Manhattan early Tuesday evening for a demonstration against President Trump’s escalating immigration crackdown, continuing several days of protests that began more than 2,400 miles away in Los Angeles.
The demonstrators rallied at Foley Square, near a large government building that houses federal immigration offices and the city’s main immigration court, which has become a flashpoint as the Trump administration ramps up the arrest of migrants in courthouses.
Shortly after 6 p.m., hundreds began marching on streets that snake through the Lower Manhattan neighborhood that is home to federal buildings. They carried bright yellow signs that said “ICE out of NYC” in Spanish and English. Dozens of police officers in riot gear flanked the protesters in an apparent effort to facilitate traffic on Broadway, leading to the arrest of a handful of protesters.
As Mr. Trump deployed National Guard troops and Marines to California, Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat who has largely aligned himself with Mr. Trump’s immigration agenda, said on Tuesday that he did not foresee Mr. Trump’s sending the military to New York City.
“If there’s ever a need to go beyond the manpower that we have, there’s other ways you do it before you have to come with the look of a military operation,” Mr. Adams said, citing the size and experience of New York City’s police force.
The rally on Tuesday evening appeared to be larger than the protests in New York during the past few days. While those earlier demonstrations were tense, resulting in arrests and small confrontations with law enforcement, they did not devolve into the visceral scenes of chaos that appeared episodically in Los Angeles.
