Protesters used bicycles to block the sidewalk between the building and waiting vehicles while ICE officers, in green vests, attempted to push through the crowd. After ICE officers arrested a man, protesters attempted to intervene, grabbing at the handcuffed individual. The crowd reacted by banging on the vehicle as it departed, with some individuals jumping in front of it to obstruct its path. An individual was pulled off the vehicle, and an attorney was arranged for the arrested man.
The officers, wearing masks and green 'ICE Police' vests, yell 'Get back' and 'Fuck you' at protesters as they try to push through the crowd and clear the path to the front doors, grabbing onto multiple people's bicycles and pushing others away from the doors.
After the man is forced into the back of one of the waiting vans, video footage shows protesters continuing to yell and bang on the doors and sides of the vehicle.
As the van pulls away from the courthouse, at least half a dozen people stand in front of it and jump on its hood to block its path.
Atkinson, the Immigrant Legal Defense Program director, confirmed the arrest made on Tuesday, adding that an attorney with the Rapid Response Network was meeting with the person.
