NEW YORK — "ICE out of New York!"

Those were the words thousands of people chanted near the city's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office, and throughout the streets of Manhattan Tuesday night as part of a series of nationwide rallies against President Trump's immigration sweeps and the deployment of the U.S. military in California.

"There are many voices in my community that can't be here today out of fear of what the administration is doing, so I want to be here for them," 19-year-old Jeanet told NPR as she joined hundreds of other protesters in lower Manhattan Tuesday night.

Snip: Across the country, protesters also took to the streets in Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle, Dallas and half a dozen other cities.

1. After what happened in Los Angeles ..................

protest also will be "freedom, 1st amendment, democracy, rights" also.

5. IMO it's about the Big Ugly Betrayal of a bill!!

The 2024 election was also about democracy and people voted for fascism. Not sure that democracy works as much as losing Medicaid.

However, just get out and make your voice heard!

11. They don't work anymore.

Everything goes on deaf ears and will be forgotten. Time to use more extreme messures.

[GenThePerservering]

15. Those would be?

(I'm not by nature a peaceful person, but even I can see that violence may just beget more violence).

[The Grand Illuminist]

16. I wouldn't endorse it.

But if there are no choices....

13. The mass deportations were a terrible idea. The tariffs were a terrible idea.

Making Mexico pay for a stupid border wall was a terrible idea.

This guy is just a bad idea machine.
