In a chaotic night in New York City, several police vehicles were set ablaze in Brooklyn following anti-ICE protests. The vehicle arson incident occurred around 1:25 a.m., shortly after protesters clashed with police during a demonstration. Around 100 protesters were involved at Foley Square, decrying immigration enforcement measures, and prior protests had seen arrests and clashes. While no injuries were reported from the arson, it highlighted escalating tensions surrounding immigration issues in the city, prompting investigations into the incident and surveillance reviews by law enforcement agencies.
It's very unsettling, no one wants to be living on a street that has arson happening on it, but yeah, it's unnerving for sure.
Investigators are reviewing surveillance videos and there have been no arrests.
About 100 anti-ICE protesters gathered in Lower Manhattan at Foley Square, near a large government building that houses federal immigration offices.
Following that demonstration, more than 80 people were arrested after bottles were hurled at police and protesters breached metal barriers.
