You know, I think the people who are activists feel like it\u2019s more important. We\u2019re angry, but the thing is, we have to channel that anger into non-violent action, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing here today,\u201d Jamie Bauer, an activist with Rise and Resist, said.<\/p>\n<p>The protests come as ICE, Customs and Border Protection, and other federal agents continue arresting immigrants who have shown up this week for their routine, mandatory, ICE check-ins inside 26 Federal Plaza.<\/p>\n<p>ICE claims assaults on its officers are up more than 1000%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cICE has to get out of New York, ICE has to get out of all the cities, no troops in our cities,\u201d Bauer said.<\/p>\n<p>Another activist \u2014 Alvin Eng, also with Rise and Resist \u2014 says he\u2019s the proud son of immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImmigrants built this country, and what\u2019s going on now, is lawless, it\u2019s immoral, and to have this innocent woman get killed, and then, them trying to cover it up by saying she\u2019s a domestic terrorist, this is just intolerable,\u201d Eng said.<\/p>\n<p>Eng believes ICE\u2019s actions in Minnesota went too far, and said he wanted to be here to remember the 37-year-old victim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s being slandered and lied about by the government,\u201d Eng said.<\/p>\n<p>NY1 spoke with an immigration attorney who\u2019s been showing up nearly every day since late May when detentions first began inside 26 Federal Plaza. He said two of his clients were detained on Thursday inside 26 Federal Plaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Protests were underway in the city Thursday, calling for accountability for the ICE officers involved in the fatal&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":502436,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,13565,12170,7448,409,405,403,50,5226,5225,95983,5228,5227,80,5292,52,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,5284],"class_list":{"0":"post-502435","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-app-local-state-politics","10":"tag-app-public-safety","11":"tag-app-top-stories","12":"tag-immigration","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-city","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-newyork","17":"tag-newyorkcity","18":"tag-noorulain-khawaja","19":"tag-ny","20":"tag-nyc","21":"tag-politics","22":"tag-public-safety","23":"tag-top-stories","24":"tag-united-states","25":"tag-united-states-of-america","26":"tag-unitedstates","27":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","28":"tag-us","29":"tag-usa","30":"tag-vod"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115862101358145005","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=502435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/502436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=502435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=502435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=502435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
