‼️ ALERT ‼️ ICE is showing up at NYC protests: On Wednesday, this man was walking with protestors when 5 agents jumped out of a van with guns drawn & threw him to the ground, 1 wearing a POLICE/HSI (division of ICE) vest. This man is a US citizen of Puerto Rican descent.
Agents held him on the ground with 3 guns pointed at him, cuffed him, illegally searched him, tried to search his phone, accused him of having a gun. All they found was his military/veteran id. They held him for 10 minutes looking for something to justify their attack on him.
ICE is engaged in violent policing & NY must protect noncitizens, incl. protestors who are being targeted & criminalized for dissent. 100s of people are arrested & charged at courthouses where we know ICE stakes out. NY must pass #ICEOutofCourts NOW! @bradhoylman @MichaelleSolage
THING TO KNOW: the officers tried search his phone without his consent, but because he uses a passcode, not fingerprint/face unlock, they couldn’t. Disable the fingerprint/face unlock and use 6+ digit passcodes! 🔑🔑
UPDATE: The head injury inflicted by ICE required a trip to the hospital. The man in this video has been treated & is resting at home. ICE’s aggressive arrests in #NYS are why our legislature must act to get ICE off our streets & away from our courthouses. #ICEoutofCourts
