"At one point in a clip obtained by TMZ, masked agents can be seen dragging the detained man out of the building and bundling him into a vehicle, flanked by half a dozen NYPD cops and surrounded by angry protesters."
"Police told the newspaper that around 200 protesters convened at the facility, with some hurling garbage cans into the street."
"People tried to stop the vehicles from leaving. That's when the police arrived, and then it was essentially a standoff for five or six hours, because more and more people showed up from the neighborhood to try to keep that individual from being taken."
Protests occurred outside Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, where a detainee was being held by ICE agents. The detainee, Chidozie Wilson Okeke, had been arrested after allegedly becoming combative and weaponizing his vehicle against officers. As he was being taken from the hospital, around 200 protesters clashed with police, resulting in at least eight arrests. The situation escalated into a standoff lasting several hours, with demonstrators attempting to prevent the detainee's removal.
