Another protest against ICE raids being held in NYC tonight
Another protest against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids is taking place Wednesday.
They are in solidarity with the protests in Los Angeles, where President Trump has deployed the National Guard and Marines despite objections from the city's mayor and California's governor.
A protest Tuesday night in New York City turned violent and ended with dozens arrested.
Thousands came out Tuesday night for what started as a peaceful protest that then devolved into a tense and at times violent scene. Some 86 people were taken into custody, and 34 of them were arrested on charges that include disorderly conduct. Daughtry said the arrests Tuesday night came after demonstrators hurled rocks, garbage cans, chairs and scooters, as well as blocking devices.

Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Kaz Daughtry spoke out Wednesday about the NYPD's response.
"They decided to throw items, garbage cans, rocks, bricks, anything that wasn't nailed down, they were picking it up and throwing it and putting debris in the street. That's not peaceful, not peaceful protests, and when that happens, NYPD does what they do best swiftly and make arrests," Daughtry said.
Daughtry said the department has the demonstrations under control.
"No, the NYPD does not need National Guard or Marines. We do appreciate any consideration, but we actually do not need it. I want to say it again," Daughtry said.
Daughtry said the NYPD's 30,000 members are the best equipped to handle protests.
Daughtry on his golf outing with the president
Daughtry met with Mr. Trump a few days ago to play golf.
CBS News New York asked Daughtry if they discussed deploying the National Guard in New York, and Daughtry said the conversation is private.
So how did the meeting come about?
"That'll remain private. We were there on our own time. Guys on the golf course having fun with the president of the United States. I understand certain people's feeling, but when the president asks you to come now, you come," Daughtry said.

Letters sent to 13,000 potential victims in Long Island sleep center spy camera case
The Nassau County district attorney's office is looking to identify potential victims who may have been recorded without their knowledge inside a Long Island sleep center's bathrooms. A court hearing was held Thursday in the case of Sanjai Syamaprasad. The 47-year-old was charged back in April after prosecutors say he secretly took videos of co-workers and patients, including young children, in bathrooms at the Northwell Sleep Disorders Center in Manhasset where he worked. Now, an attorney representing people in three class action lawsuits says 13,000 letters have gone out to patients who may have been victimized. "Anyone that was there between October of 2022 and April 2024 is a potential victim here," attorney Joel Rubenstein said. "Victims can send pictures of themselves to the DA's office." Hidden camera recorded patients, co-workers in sleep center bathrooms, prosecutors say Syamaprasad allegedly moved a spy camera that looked like a smoke detector around nine bathrooms at the center, placing the camera where it had views of showers and toilets. According to prosecutors, hundreds of victims were recorded over a year and a half. The district attorney said they are reviewing thousands of images. Prosecutors said in 2024, a co-worker caught Syamaprasad watching the videos at work. Northwell says it took immediate action to remove him and brought in law enforcement. Syamaprasad has pleaded not guilty to charges including unlawful surveillance. He is also under investigation for similar crimes at a Weill Cornell sleep center in Manhattan.

11 investigates: Ten communities in SWPA prepare for ‘No Kings' protest
11 Investigates has learned that 13 protests in 10 different communities are set for this Saturday in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Organizers said these are all peaceful protests to voice opposition to some of President Trump's policies. 'What we're seeing is there are people who are frustrated that this isn't what they voted for, and this isn't what they want for our country,' said Abby Graham-Pardus. Graham-Pardus is organizing the No Kings rally at the Westmoreland County Courthouse in Greensburg Saturday afternoon. This will be the third rally she's held at the courthouse to protest President Trump. PREVIOUS COVERAGE >>> Protesters gather in local counties to participate in nationwide 'Hands Off' rallies One of the previous rallies attracted 800 people. While voters in Westmoreland County overwhelmingly supported President Trump in the last election, Graham-Pardus is expecting a thousand people to attend Saturday. She said there will be Democrats, independents and even Republicans who are concerned about Trump's actions, including possible cuts to healthcare benefits, immigration raids, and a military parade in Washington D.C. this weekend. The parade is June 14th, which marks the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army as well as Trump's 79th birthday. 'We respect the military and everything they do and they shouldn't be used for a birthday parade. Essentially, there's been this slow slide to authoritarianism,' said Graham-Pardus, who said she's worked with Greensburg Police to ensure the safety of protesters. No Kings protests are scheduled for this Saturday in ten communities in southwestern Pennsylvania, including Cranberry, Beaver, Mars, Greensburg, Uniontown, Washington, Pittsburgh, Indiana, Coraopolis, and Mt. Lebanon. Two No Kings protests are set for Pittsburgh. One will start at the City-County building on Grant Street and the other will begin at Freedom Corner in the Hill District. There's also a vigil for science and academic freedom at Carnegie Mellon University on Saturday evening. 'At this time, we have no indication that there will be any civil unrest in the city,' said Lee Schmidt, Pittsburgh Public Safety Director. But Schmidt said extra police officers and medics will be on hand just as a precaution. 'We're here to make sure everyone's rights are protected and maintain safety,' said Schmidt. 'We found some online threats, a guy literally put on social media, that he's going to be like Kyle Rittenhouse, with his feet on the ground. We don't want that,' said Mayor JoJo Burgess of Washington Pa. Rittenhouse was acquitted of killing two men during a protest over a fatal police shooting in Wisconsin six years ago. Mayor Burgess said in light of the threat, there's a heightened sense of alert and security for No Kings rally in his community Saturday. Burgess said police will be on hand and plan to shut down roads around the courthouse to keep the protestors safe. Burgess said he doesn't expect any issues. 'I know the organizers. They've held protests in the city before. They've always been peaceful. There's never been any kind of problem with it, but when you see these kinds of threats in this climate that we live in, you've got to take that seriously,' said Burgess. It will be a busy day for Mayor Burgess as his city is also holding a Juneteenth celebration on the same day. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro also weighed in on the planned protest. He said his administration will be working around the clock to ensure both the rights of demonstrators and the well-being of cities and towns are protected.

GOP lawmaker suggests Padilla part of ‘Cartel Caucus'
GOP Rep. Warren Davidson (Ohio) suggested Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) was supporting Mexican drug cartels during his Thursday protest at a presser hosted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). 'I didn't know the Senate had a Cartel Caucus to protect the interests of the cartels, but maybe so,' Davidson wrote in a Thursday post on the social platform X. Padilla was thrown to the ground by law enforcement and detained after interrupting remarks by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. 'I'm Sen. Alex Padilla. I have a question for the secretary,' Padilla, the senior senator from California, said as he was hauled off by several men. The incident follows large-scale protests in Los Angeles over the Trump administration's efforts to combat illegal immigration through widespread detainment and removals. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted four raids last week resulting in the arrest of 44 individuals including a local labor union president. Demonstrations started shortly after as residents protested overpopulation at ICE facilities, inhumane treatment and wrongful seizures. 'What just happened to @SenAlexPadilla is absolutely abhorrent and outrageous. He is a sitting United States Senator,' Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) wrote in a Thursday post on X. 'This administration's violent attacks on our city must end,' she added. Her words were echoed by former Vice President Kamala Harris, who represented California in the upper chamber prior to serving as second in command during the Biden administration. 'United States Senator Alex Padilla was representing the millions of Californians who are demanding answers to this Administration's actions in Southern California. This is a shameful and stunning abuse of power,' Harris wrote on X. However, DHS and White House officials said Secret Service agents were right to detain Padilla and falsely claimed he did not identify himself as a lawmaker. 'Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem,' DHS wrote on X. 'Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers' repeated commands. @SecretService thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.'
