Police officers took at least 24 people into custody on Monday at Trump Tower, according to authorities. Protesters were also seen blocking the street outside 26 Federal Plaza, near where people were taken into ICE custody.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch and Mayor Eric Adams both promised to protect the right to protest as long as it's peaceful.

'Two wrongs do not make a right,' Adams said. 'I understand that some new Yorkers may be angry, afraid, and I understand, NYC will always be a place to peacefully protest, but we will not allow lawlessness.'
'We have no tolerance for property damage, we have no tolerance for people blocking entrances to buildings or blocking driveways or blocking cars for moving,' Tisch said.
