NYC Protestors Clash With ICE on Live TV: ‘We Don’t Want These People In Our F*cking City!’

NewsNation reporter Jessica Kartalija captured the frenzied clash between protestors and ICE agents in New York City on Tuesday on live TV, reporting protestors “yelling racial slurs” and “pushing” federal agents as they swarmed their vehicles.

“People are pounding on the windows of the car,” Kartalija reported.

“The ICE agents are trying to get out… they’re not letting them leave!” she exclaimed a moment later.

She also reported “people have been throwing things at the ICE agents” and that protestors were shoving agents — some of which was caught on camera.

Kartalija was following the protestors as they moved down the street, chanting “ICE OUT NOW!,” and interviewing a few along the way. The crowd made it clear they hated that President Donald Trump was using ICE and border patrol agents to deport illegal immigrants.

“We don’t want them in our f*cking city!” one female protestor yelled at Kartalija. “They’re fakers, I don’t believe them to have this authority, I don’t think they should be able to cover their faces. They should not be able to kidnap people in the streets!”

The young woman, a moment later, flipped out when Kartalija asked her about the traffic the protest was causing. “It’s New York City! Traffic being blocked is okay if we’re going to stop them from kidnapping people.”

Kartalija estimated there were “hundreds” of protestors involved. She said the media and others had been tipped off to an ICE raid that was being made on Canal Street in Lower Manhattan.

She reported one man was spotted running up and down the street yelling, “ICE is coming! ICE is coming!”

Agents let him go when they learned he was a U.S. citizen, she reported.

Later, Kartalija said this was “unprecedented, I’ve never seen anything like this,” and that the scene looked like a “war zone.”
