Protesters, advocates, and more than 50 organizations are calling on @NYCCouncil to disband the NYPD's Strategic Response Group, a violent police unit known for brutalizing protesters across NYC. A thread on why we need the SRG off our streets and how you can help👇.

Hey @NYCMayor, circling back on this tweet from 3 days ago! Does this apply to the masked ICE agents that detained your comptroller (which you still haven’t commented on?)
Let’s stop pretending. These masked agitators aren’t worried about COVID — they’re worried about getting caught. I’ve been calling for the return of New York’s mask ban because this is the playbook: show up to cause chaos, cover your face, and run from accountability. We’re

Lots of well intentioned people pointing to this as ICE being “out of control” when it’s actually ICE functioning as designed. We see similar language when the police do something egregious enough to get public attention. Arms of the state are not out of control, they are and.
Mayoral candidate Brad Lander was cuffed and detained by ICE agents after asking to see a warrant for people who were detained after an immigration hearing. Video from the city comptroller’s press secretary @chloecbristow. She says he’s still being held in 26 Federal Plaza.

After marching on the sidewalk for more than 2 hours, protesters marched on the street for 2 minutes before being descended on by the SRG. One arrest so far. At this point, protesters are outnumbered 3:1 at least.

The march has stopped at Foley Square, across the street from the makeshift detention center at 26 Federal Plaza. This is one of the most heavily policed protests in recent memory. The ratio of police to protesters is at least 1:1

Aforementioned arrest. I wasn’t filming in the moments leading up to this because nothing was happening. NYPD told protesters to back up onto the sidewalk and they were complying when this person was snatched.

Absolutely absurd amount of NYPD flanking @WOLPalestine ‘s Global March to Gaza. The march stepped off from Zuccotti Park. One person has been arrested so far- they were snatched by an NYPD white shirt when the group stopped outside 26 Federal Plaza
