Protests in Manhattan saw a clash between anti-Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) demonstrators, mostly white, and a counter group of pro-police supporters, primarily black and Hispanic. The anti-ICE group gathered near a federal courthouse expecting ICE vans to arrive with illegal immigrants. Tensions escalated as each side chanted against one another, reflecting a larger societal conflict over immigration and police support. Notably, a Dominican man supporting police was discouraged from engaging with the anti-ICE crowd, suggesting deep divides within the demographic groups present.
While the Caller was unable to gauge the precise racial makeup of each group, the Caller identified a number of the most vocal pro-police voices as being ethnic minorities.
A largely white crowd of anti-Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) protesters clashed Thursday night with pro-police demonstrators, many of whom were black and Hispanic, in Manhattan.
