Anti-ICE protests erupt across 19 states, with 200 rioters busted in LA for ignoring newly enforced curfew
The chaos is spreading. Anti-ICE riots have erupted in Atlanta, Chicago and Seattle — as hundreds of protesters were arrested in Los Angeles Tuesday after the city imposed a curfew to curb five straight days of mayhem sparked by federal immigration raids. Thousands have stormed the streets in 35 cities across 19 states, both in solidarity with the unrest in Los Angeles and to protest the wave of mass detentions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 7 Anti-ICE riots have erupted across the country, with hundreds of protesters arrested in Los Angeles, California, on Tuesday. Getty Images While no other city has matched the scale of the volatile demonstrations in the City of Angels — where 700 Marines and 4,000 National Guard troops have been deployed — clashes with police intensified Tuesday during the latest round of protests, according to local reports. About six agitators were cuffed in Atlanta after police ordered a curfew to control a rowdy crowd — which set off fireworks and hurled rocks at officers, resulting in tear gas being used to end the chaos, Fox 5 Atlanta reported. A demonstration in Chicago turned violent when thousands gathered outside the Chicago Police Department headquarters, accusing cops of helping ICE with crowd control during raids in the Windy City, something the department denies, ABC7 reported. Some members of the crowd vandalized patrol cars and others faced off with cops, as a motorist plowed through the mob of demonstrators after ignoring police orders to stop, according to Fox News. No injuries were reported in the frightening incident. In Seattle, a few dozen protesters gathered outside Seattle's Henry M. Jackson Federal Building to show support for the civil disobedience taking place in LA. 7 Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass imposed a curfew across the city to limit the civil unrest from the ongoing protests. Getty Images The action followed another, larger protest the day before in which around 300 people marched to Seattle City Hall to oppose the arrest of local labor leader David Huerta, who was arrested during the ICE raids in California. Outside the federal building, protesters chanted profanity-laced anti-ICE slogans in both Spanish and English and tried to block vehicle access to the building with e-bikes and scooters, according to KUOW. More than 200 people were arrested in Los Angeles after they failed to leave the one-square-mile section of downtown where Mayor Karen Bass enforced an 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew, NBC News reported. 7 Thousands of individuals have taken to the streets across the country to protest the ICE raids. Getty Images Agitators were charged with failure to disperse, as 17 others were arrested for curfew violation. Others were taken into custody for firearm possession, assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer and discharging a laser at a police airship, the outlet reported. Two officers were also injured when a standoff erupted between protesters, the LAPD and ICE agents as the 8 p.m. curfew neared. 7 Multiple demonstrations have led to violence and dozens of arrests across the country along with members of the Marines and the National Guard being called in to maintain order. Getty Images The disruption resulted in demonstrators fleeing into the parking garage of an upscale apartment high-rise where residents were reportedly sheltering them. One protester, who was hiding out in the 17th-floor stairwell of the building, told The Post he voted for President Trump and now regrets that decision. 'I've been hiding here. I'm just trying to get out,' he said. 'I was out here protesting because both of my parents are Mexican, and I want to support my community. Actually, I voted for Trump and regretted it. It was a huge mistake, and this is kind of my way of making up for that.' 7 Tuesday marked the fifth straight day of protests in Los Angeles against the mass deportation raids conducted by ICE. Matthew Hoen/Zuma / The city has been in turmoil since Friday, when protests-turned-riots erupted as federal agents raided numerous workplaces and hauled off suspected illegal immigrants. Demonstrations quickly turned violent, with busy highways blocked, rocks being thrown at police cars, and city streets left littered with burning cars by day and looters ransacking storefronts by night. Tensions escalated into a hotbed of unrest when Trump bypassed California Gov. Gavin Newsom and ordered the large military presence to the city to restore order — an 'unnecessary' decision Bass said has caused 'drastic and chaotic escalation.' 7 Tensions unfolded when President Trump ignored California Gov. Gavin Newsom and decided to send the military to the state to limit the ongoing violence. Getty Images 'A week ago, everything was peaceful in the city of Los Angeles,' she said during a news conference Wednesday. 'Things began to be difficult on Friday when raids took place, and it's important that I begin there because that is the cause of the problems that have happened in the city of Los Angeles and other cities. This was provoked by the White House.' The federal troops are largely being used to protect federal buildings and assist ICE officers. 7 Since the raids began, 330 immigrants have been taken into ICE custody. Getty Images Immigration raids in Los Angeles have since intensified, with 330 immigrants taken into custody since federal authorities entered the city last week, the White House confirmed to the Los Angeles Times. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the arrests included 113 individuals who had prior criminal convictions. ICE has targeted Home Depots and agricultural farms, including one in Ventura County early Tuesday morning, where videos posted online showed federal agents chasing after workers attempting to flee at an Oxnard farm. 'These actions are completely unjustified and harmful,' Oxnard Mayor Luis McArthur said. 'They create chaos and distress in our communities without contributing much to public safety. The individual affected by these operations, they're not criminals. They are hardworking families who make meaningful contributions to our local economy and to our greater community.'

New bill grants lifetime NYPD pension to children of fallen officers, closing gap in previous law
New legislation passed Wednesday is set to help the families of fallen New York City Police officers for years to come. The "Home Rule" bill was championed for years by the daughter of fallen NYPD Det. Miosotis Familia, who calls this an impactful win for not only herself but NYPD families across the city. Children previously not entitled to lifetime pension Familia was killed in the line of duty back in 2017. Her daughter Genesis Villella was 20 years old, and she dropped out of college to care for her twin siblings, Peter and Delilah, who were only 12. Previously under law, spouses or parents of fallen NYPD officers were entitled to the officer's pension for life, but the officer's children were not. That meant because Familia was a single mother, Villella and her siblings fell through the gap. "The orphan children were forgotten and skipped over numerous times, but I didn't want to allow that to happen anymore," Villella said. "My mom, she made an impact" For years, Villella has pushed for legislation to support the children of fallen NYPD officers, and on Wednesday, it was finally passed by City Council. "Finally this is one chapter of this entire journey I've been on that I can close that should have never existed in the first place," Villella said. "Me and my brother and sister will be receiving my mom's pension, her pension that she would have enjoyed had she made it to retirement." The City Council says the new bill not only honors Familia's legacy by giving her children the support they deserve but also marks a significant correction to a systemic failure. "If this happens in the FDNY, in the Department of Correction, the Department of Investigation or any other city agency where this might be an issue, we now will have in law the example to replicate to protect everyone," Majority Leader Amanda Farías said. "This is solidifying, like, in history that my mom, she made an impact. Everybody loved her. Her death meant something. I know that but now everyone is going to know that," Villella said.
