Demonstrations in New York, Chicago, Atlanta and elsewhere in protest at Ice raids and deployment of troops
Protests against the Trump administration\u2019s newly intensified immigration raids, centered on Los Angeles, spread across the country on Tuesday, with demonstrations in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Omaha and Seattle.
Thousands attended a protest against the federal government\u2019s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in New York<\/a> City\u2019s Foley Square.<\/p>\n

Some protesters held signs reading \u201cIce out of New York\u201d and others chanted \u201cWhy are you in riot gear? I don\u2019t see no riot here.\u201d
Shirley, a 29-year-old protester, condemned the Trump administration for targeting workers, which she called antithetical to the country\u2019s essence.
\u201cI come from immigrant parents,\u201d she said, with a large Mexican flag draped across her back. \u201cIt\u2019s infuriating to see that this particular government is going into labor fields, taking people from construction sites, into industry, plants, into farms, and taking away what is the backbone of this country.
\u201cSo I\u2019m here today to remind everybody that the United States started as an immigrant country, and it\u2019s a nation of immigrants, and I just want to make sure that I\u2019m here for those who can\u2019t be here today.\u201d
Councilmember Shahana Hanif of Brooklyn spoke before the large crowd in Foley Square. She criticized the Trump administration and New York\u2019s mayor, Eric Adams, for the crackdown on immigrants.
\u201cMayor Adams has made it clear that he doesn\u2019t care about working class people,\u201d she said. \u201cHe does not care about any one of us. He is collaborating with Trump to use tactics. He\u2019s complicit.\u201d
She also expressed her desire to keep New York a sanctuary city, and called for more protections for international students.
\u201cStop the attacks and assaults on our students!\u201d she yelled, and was met with cheers from the crowd.
Thousands also gathered outside an immigration court in Chicago<\/a>, and then marched through downtown streets, drumming and chanting, \u201cNo more deportations!\u201d
At one point, a car drove through the marchers, narrowly missing the anti-Ice protesters, according to WGN TV News, which broadcast video of the incident<\/a>.
In metro Atlanta, hundreds of people marched along Buford Highway in solidarity with Los Angeles, local 11 Alive News reported<\/a>.
Protesters marched in Omaha on Tuesday, chanting<\/a> \u201cChinga la migra\u201d (a Spanish phrase that roughly translates to the slogan \u201cFuck Ice\u201d on placards waved by the marchers) after about 80 people were reportedly arrested<\/a> in an immigration raid on a meat-packing plant.
In Seattle, a small crowd of about 50 protesters gathered outside the Henry M Jackson federal building in downtown Seattle to show solidarity with protesters in Los Angeles, the Seattle Times reported<\/a>.
After a rally, the protesters barricaded driveways<\/a> with e-bikes and e-scooters to block homeland security vehicles thought to be transporting detained immigrants.
Large rallies also took place in Dallas and Austin on Monday, and up to 1,800 protests are planned nationwide on Saturday, to coincide with the military parade Donald Trump<\/a> is throwing on his birthday in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n
