'Vibe shift' as New Yorkers force ICE to back down -- Dan Froomkin
https://www.headsupnews.org/p/vibe-shift-as-new-yorkers-force-iceProtesters on offense instead of defense
There was a remarkable scene outside a federal government garage in New York City’s Chinatown on Saturday morning.
Dozens of masked federal agents had gathered inside in preparation for a raid.
Hundreds of New Yorkers wouldn’t let them out.
“As the agents’ vehicles moved to leave, protesters blocked them, forming a barricade at the mouth of the garage with their bodies and piling mounds of garbage bags beside them. The standoff continued for the better part of an hour as more and more protesters arrived,” the New York Times reported. .
“By the early afternoon, nearly 200 people had gathered on the street outside, chanting and yelling at the agents, who peered out from inside the garage.”
