In a significant escalation of anti-ICE demonstrations, eleven elected officials, including notable figures such as Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and Councilman Brad Lander, were arrested while attempting to access an ICE detention facility at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan. The protests aimed to highlight concerns over the treatment of detainees and demand improved conditions within the facility. Following their arrests, a federal judge has directed ICE to address overcrowding and inhumane conditions at the detention site, responding to growing criticism from immigrant rights advocates.
