Protesters took over the lobby of the Tribeca Hilton on Tuesday night, where they say immigration agents are staying
\n
NY1 reached out to both Hilton and the Department of Homeland Security about the claims tied to this location, but has not heard back
\n
Hundreds also gathered in the bitter cold at Foley Square in Lower Manhattan, protesting ICE and expressing outrage over the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have been tracking ICE movements and ICE actions,\u201d Michael-Luca Natt, organizer for Sunrise Movement NYC, said.<\/p>\n
Those actions led some 70 people to the hotel lobby, prompting dozens of arrests.<\/p>\n
The protest happened just blocks from places where immigration arrests have been reported, including 26 Federal Plaza and Canal Street.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re taking people off the streets and not just taking them away, our neighbors and our community members, but killing them blatantly in broad daylight with no due process,\u201d Natt said.<\/p>\n
NY1 reached out to both Hilton and the Department of Homeland Security about the claims tied to this location, but has not heard back.<\/p>\n
At the same time, another protest unfolded just a mile away.<\/p>\n
Hundreds gathered in the bitter cold at Foley Square in Lower Manhattan, protesting ICE and expressing outrage over the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis, shootings involving federal immigration agents.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to see as many people out here to sway the federal government from sending immigration agents to come and kill New Yorkers,\u201d James from Brooklyn said.<\/p>\n
Among the crowd was Matt from Brooklyn, who\u2019s originally from the Minneapolis area.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve felt a strong pull back home all week. And I just really needed to be out here around people that felt similarly,\u201d Matt said.<\/p>\n
He said what he\u2019s been seeing back home made it impossible to stay away.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis feels different. This feels on the precipice of it being a lot more scary,\u201d Matt said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Protesters took over the lobby of the Tribeca Hilton on Tuesday night.
