Authorities arrested several individuals Tuesday evening following a protest against ICE that erupted inside a New York City hotel, according to reports.

Officers from the New York City Police Department were called to the Hilton Garden Inn on Sixth Avenue in Tribeca around 6 p.m. The protesters had taken control of the hotel’s lobby and were blocking pedestrian traffic.

The activist group Sunrise Movement had earlier shared a post on X, alleging that the hotel was accommodating ICE officials.

Immigration rights activists staged a sit-in at the Hilton Garden Inn in New York City on January 27, drawing a crowd of demonstrators outside the hotel.

Social media footage captured the scene, with protesters loudly chanting and brandishing signs as they refused to vacate the premises.

The demonstrators could be heard shouting slogans such as, “No ICE, No KKK, No Fascist USA” and “ICE out of New York.”

In a separate video, protesters chant, “Kristi Noem will hang,” blatantly calling out the Department of Homeland Security secretary.

Sam Raskin, a spokesperson for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, released a statement Tuesday in response to the protests and the police response.

“Mayor Mamdani commends the protestors who exercised their right to protest against ICE today,” he said. “As he has said, ICE is a rogue agency that has repeatedly carried out cruel, inhumane, and lawless raids, arrests, shootings, and even targeted American citizens. The Mayor is also pleased with the NYPD’s response to today’s peaceful protest.”

At about 8:20 p.m., an NYPD bus carrying the arrested protesters departed the hotel, while remaining protesters chanted, “We love you, we will get justice for you.”

The NYPD did not immediately confirm how many people were arrested or what they were charged with.

The demonstration followed the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti during an encounter with U.S. Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis over the weekend. Earlier this month, Renee Nicole Good was also fatally shot during an encounter with ICE officers in Minneapolis.

On Monday, police in Minnesota arrested multiple anti-ICE protesters outside a hotel after officers declared an unlawful assembly.

Those demonstrations took place outside the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Maple Grove, Minnesota, where protesters believed U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was staying.
