More than 20 arrested in NYC as mob tries to block feds from conducting immigration raids | 7 June 2025 | More than 20 people were arrested Saturday as a mob of nearly 150 protesters cursed at cops and tried to block federal authorities from conducting immigration raids in Lower Manhattan, according to a police source, federal officials and video from the chaotic scene. The angry, masked demonstrators yelled "motherf--kers" at officers, sat in the roadway, threw objects and even themselves in front of an unmarked white van with tinted windows as it tried to leave 26 Federal Plaza, where the U.S. Immigration Court is housed. "Back up, back up," six uniformed Department of Homeland Security officers yelled while shoving the agitators aside, footage of the incident showed.
