New York City Marched Against ICE's Reign of Terror
New York City continued their "Good Trouble" marches against ICE's undemocratic reign of terror, with Friday's march honoring the death of John Lewis on July 17, 2020.
New York City came out in force for an Anti-ICE “Good Trouble” march through the city Friday evening.
Immigration and civil rights advocates rallied at Foley Square Friday evening, eventually marching through downtown Manhattan.
They chanted about the people being united including “no hate, no fear," they had drums, inflatables, and featured speeches about the inhumane conditions in ICE detention centers, the right to free speech to protest and honoring John Lewis’ legacy of Good Trouble.
They led an African American gospel “Over My Head” that includes the words “I see freedom in the air”.
They had protest monitors secured so that their right to free speech would not be infringed upon by this snowflake administration that can’t stand freedom when it includes even the slightest criticism.
Watch here:
The Anti-ICE “Good Trouble” Marches are an ongoing civil rights demonstrations in New York City protesting immigration policies and federal deportations, invoking the legacy of civil rights leader John Lewis and his call to make “good trouble.”
This march was particularly significant as John Lewis died on July 17, 2020.
For a September, 2025 anti-ICE march, the NYCLU explained, “Neighbors, faith leaders, union members, community groups, activists and civic organizations are coming together to say NO to ICE, NO to Trump’s gang of federal agents, and NO to federal troops in NYC. Rogue actors are kidnapping our neighbors, restricting our liberty, and invading our cities. New Yorkers will stand up for immigrant communities in the face of federal abuse, and we expect our elected officials at the state and city levels to do the same.”
Saturday’s “STOP ICE TERROR!” Resistance
Friday’s march serves as an unintended opening act for Saturday’s planned protests against Trump’s ICE thugs after devastating recent fatal shootings by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, which have sparked nationwide protests and congressional calls for investigation.
