Welcome to New York: Police arrest nearly 90 abolish ICE protestors for blocking trafficking

Welcome to New York: Police arrest nearly 90 abolish ICE protestors for blocking trafficking 1

NEW YORK CITY, NY – Nearly 90 protestors are in trouble with the law today after a weekend of rallying in the streets of New York City. 

Local TV news station WABC reported that police arrested at least 86 people during an abolish ICE demonstration Saturday, in two separate locations. 

Video posted to social media shows officers begin arresting protestors as they stepped off the sidewalk and into the streets in Times Square.  Isabelle Levya, one of the protestors, tweeted: 

“The NYPD just attacked us at the Times Square abolish ICE protest for stepping off the sidewalk. Several organizers arrested for no reason. Police violence at protests is escalating in NYC, please pay attention.” 

In the video, another protestor is heard yelling at the officers:

“What the f**k is wrong with you? They’re sitting down.”

In another recording, Levya alleges that officers grabbed her and picked up a nearby protestor by that person’s hair.

She wrote: 

“As we were backing up you can hear one say “encircle them” before they surrounded us. Video gets crazy because they grabbed me and picked the person next to me up by their hair.” 

The multiple videos were met with mixed responses.  One Twitter user who goes by the handle “@veganforBLM” wrote: 

“Glad you were able to gather evidence via this vid. As protesters your right to assemble is strongest in what are known as “traditional public forums,” such as streets, sidewalks, and parks. You can march in streets but may be asked to move if blocking traffic.” 

Another, who calls herself “Queen,” tweeted: 

“One major problem is generational. This generation grew up entitled and made to think everything they said or think is correct and wonderful. Many are delusional as a result. They have no respect for law or authority. Bad parenting to blame.” 

Police told WABC that they made arrests only when protestors began to block traffic. A public address system played an NYPD message telling them that they were “unlawfully in the roadway and obstructing vehicular traffic.” 

Leyva was not one of the protestors arrested.

The group was in the area to demonstrate against Immigration and Customs Enforcement after reports last week that the agency was complicit in an outside contractor performing unnecessary hysterectomies on illegal immigrant women being detained in government facilities in Georgia. 

Police sources told The New York Post that officers arrested a second group near 1 Police Plaza. 

In total, the news outlet said police arrested 41 men and 45 women during the two rallies.  All are facing charges for disorderly conduct and one is facing a charge for resisting arrest. 

It is not the first time in a one week span that protestors in New York City clashed with NYPD officers.  Earlier in the week, WABC reported that another group of protestors rallied outside 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan.

 During that event, NYPD told the news station that dozens of people gathered in front of the building on September 16 to voice opposition to ICE practices.  An account called NYC Protest Updates 2020 tweeted about it beforehand: 

“There is also an “abolish ICE” action at 26 Federal Plaza, home of ICE’s field office in the city, planned for 4PM today. Thanks to multiple sources who brought this to our attention.” 

Local media outlets reported that the event quickly turned destructive as demonstrators spray painted the outside entrance to the building and smashing part of a revolving glass door. 

Some of the group allegedly forced their way into the lobby of the building, which houses ICE offices.  Police said there were no arrests in connection to that protest. 

They have not issued a press release or social media statement on the more recent arrests from over the weekend. 

Police arrest rioter for beating officer over the head with damaged car door, causing traumatic brain injury

SALT LAKE CITY, UT – This is what our officers are up against.

Protests, riots, and looting resulted in Salt Lake City shortly after George Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

On one of the nights of rioting, May 30th, a Salt Lake City was struck in the head by rioter, leaving him with a traumatic brain injury.  Now, the coward has been identified and arrested. 

A Salt Lake City Police officer was responding to the rioting, looting, and vandalism of numerous businesses in the area of 200 East and 400 South. 

As he got to the area, rioters were damaging cars and overturned at least two of them.

A coward, now identified as Jakob Carter Nacey, alleged picked up a piece of metal from one of the broken car doors and struck the officer in the head with it. 

The officer received a traumatic brain injury as a result and was taken to the hospital.

Three months later, the officer is still trying to recover from the injury allegedly caused by a coward who sought to do nothing but cause carnage and mayhem.  The Desert News reports that court documents said:

“The officer that was struck with this item had to be transported to the hospital and is still recovering from a traumatic brain injury as of this writing.”

Salt Lake City Police Department did not go into any detail as to how they identified Nacey. 

Police arrested him on September 16th on charges of rioting and assault on a police officer. 

Nacey was transported to the Salt Lake County Jail with a bond set at $55,010.  According to ABC4.com, Nacey is no stranger to law enforcement as he has been arrested multiple times over the past year.

The news source reports that Nacey has been arrested twice for the recent riots as well as assault, theft, giving false information to police, criminal trespassing, and intoxication related charges.

Sadly, this officer injury is not the first to be reported caused by the lawlessness of the ‘peaceful protests.’  Law Enforcement Today reported in June where there were over 300 New York City Police Officers that had been injured during riots that occurred there in June.

Former New York Police Commissioner, Bernard Kerik, told Fox News reporter Judge Jeanine:

“Well, you’ve had over 300 — I think about 320 — that have been injured, I think some in the hospital.  But there were over 300 injuries.”  

And then we had six officer reported shot from August 29th through September 1st. 

There were six officers who were shot by suspects across the country, and numerous other officers injured as well.

With anti-police sentiments seeming to stoke the fire that is assaults and attempts on police officers’ lives, we’re seeing nationally the ramifications of these current times.

One of the recent shootings where an officer was struck happened in Daytona, Beach, Florida on August 29th. Luckily the officer was wearing body armor at the time of the incident. Bodycam footage captured the harrowing moments where the officer was in pursuit of a shooting suspect. 

When the officer enters a room to locate the suspect, the suspect immediately opened fire on the officer which caused the officer to go down.

Daytona Beach Police Chief Craig Capri noted that if the officer wasn’t wearing body armor, he likely would’ve died:

“A few more inches up and it could have hit him in the neck or the face. Thank God the body armor did its job.”

Another officer was said to have been injured during that encounter as well. That suspect was said to have been later fatally shot by police during that encounter.

Also, on the very same day, that was when St. Louis Police Officer Tamarris Bohannon was fatally shot in the head.

A second officer was shot in the leg during that incident. Police currently have a suspect in custody at this time that has been charged with the officer’s murder.

In Middleton, New York, a police officer was shot when responding to a domestic violence incident on August 29th as well. When responding to a residence in Middleton at approximately 7:30 p.m., authorities say that a suspect at the residence opened fire at the officer after people had flagged down the patrol unit requesting help.

The officer was non-fatally injured in that incident and was said to have returned fire on the subject who was also non-fatally injured. Both the suspect and the officer’s names have not been released as of yet in that case.

In Chicago, Illinois on August 30th, two CPD officers were shot in the chest while attempting to arrest an individual during a traffic stop where the suspect was said to have had a gun.

In that incident, police attempted to pull over a vehicle within the 3300 block of West Polk Street at approximately 2:30 a.m. that matched the description of one reported involving a man who was said to have been driving around with a gun.
