NYPD Violently Arrests Protesters After ICE Detains Immigrant Leader Ravi Ragbir


Exclusive Footage from 'Democracy Now!'

Democracy Now! was there this morning when New York City police officers violently shoved protesters and city council members aside as they escorted an ambulance away from 26 Federal Plaza with detained immigrant rights leader Ravi Ragbir inside to an ICE detention center. Ragbir, head of the New Sanctuary Coalition of New York, was detained when he checked-in with ICE, as hundreds held a silent Jericho prayer walk outside. An ambulance was called after Ragbir reportedly fainted when told he would not be released.

This report was broadcast on January 11.
