On February 13, approximately 400 protesters marched in Manhattan to denounce U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), following a meeting between Mayor Eric Adams and Trump's Border Czar, Tom Homan. The activists protested the reopening of the ICE facility at Rikers Island, asserting that Adams neglects immigrant communities. Many carried signs and chanted slogans expressing their discontent, leading to six arrests during the march. The event underscores escalating tensions over immigration policies in New York City, particularly amidst increased ICE raids since Trump's presidency began.
