Chaos erupted in New York City on Saturday, when hundreds of anti-ICE protesters trapped federal immigration officers inside a parking garage for hours, apparently foiling an immigration raid.

Starting around 11 a.m., protesters gathered outside of a parking garage on the edge of Chinatown, after seeing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Officers (ICE) officers in the garage. The crowd of activists — which grew to an estimated 200 or so — shouted anti-ICE slogans, blocked the garage opening, and piled up trash bags to also stand in the way, according to The New York Times.

It wasn’t until after 1 p.m. that ICE agents left the garage in their vehicles, while being chased by protesters, who threw things like garbage cans at the vehicles.

New York Police Department officers tried to quell the riot but were generally unsuccessful, encountering physical pushback at times. According to the Times, several protesters were arrested, but an apparent ICE raid was foiled.

Attacks on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and U.S. Border Patrol agents from Left-wing activists have spiked exponentially since President Donald Trump took office this term.

Earlier this month, border patrol agents conducting immigration enforcement operations in Chicago were shot at by an unknown male driving a black Jeep, the Department of Homeland Security said at the time.

DHS also noted that an “unknown number of agitators also threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol’s vehicles.”

“Over the past two months, we’ve seen an increase in assaults and obstruction targeting federal law enforcement during operations,” DHS said. “These confrontations highlight the dangers our agents face daily and the escalating aggression toward law enforcement. The violence must end.”

In October, ICE officers were similarly targeted in an armed attack in Chicago. Assistant Secretary Dept. of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin said officers were “rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars” and agents were forced to exit their vehicles on foot.

The suspect in Wednesday’s horrific shooting in Washington, D.C., is expected to survive according to a local law enforcement official.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, opened fire on National Guard soldiers just blocks from the White House and struck two of them, one fatally. Another soldier returned fire, injuring and then subduing Lakanwal at the scene. An unnamed law enforcement official told The New York Post that the Afghan national had undergone surgery but was expected to make a full recovery.

“I think the guy’s going to live. Nobody’s going to be able to say anything and he’s going to stand trial,” the official said, adding, “I know that he underwent surgery the night it happened.”

Meanwhile, SPC Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia has succumbed to her injuries — and Andrew Wolfe, the other National Guardsman who was shot, continues to fight for his life. Following the news that Beckstrom had died, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro announced that the charges against Lakanwal had been upgraded to include first-degree murder.

“There are certainly many more charges to come, but we are upgrading the initial charges of assault to murder in the first degree,” Pirro said. “It is a premeditated murder. There was an ambush with a gun toward people who didn’t know what was coming.”

President Donald Trump, upon learning that Lakanwal was an Afghan national who entered the United States  in 2021 following former President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, took immediate action and declared a halt to “migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover.”

Trump also called for a review of the vetting process for those who entered the United States during and after the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and promised that his administration would “deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.”
