Irate NYC pols rally against recent ICE arrests in Lower Manhattan, blame City Hall for inaction: ‘History will judge us’

A slew of elected officials and social rights activists railed in Foley Square on Monday against recent ICE arrests and pointed the finger of blame at Mayor Eric Adams and the state government for allowing it to happen.

Brooklyn state Sen. Julia Salazar and other speakers at the June 2 rally did not mince words over the numerous ICE detainments made at Lower Manhattan’s immigration court in recent days. She expressed anger at Adams and other city officials for allowing the federal agency to make the arrests at a court that typically handles immigration matters for law-abiding newcomers.
