ICE raid disrupted by crowd of opposition
Rochester, NY -Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity near the George Eastman Museum early Tuesday was met with vocal opposition from activists and community leaders as roofers targeted by officers remained in a standoff.
Officers first stationed near Westminster Road and East Avenue, arresting one person who was completing work on a roof. Two other workers remained on the roof as a crowd of activists, attorneys, clergy, and community members gathered until 11 a.m. to protest the unfolding event.
“There are a lot of people here who care very deeply about what’s happening in our country, and people are just not going to tolerate this,” said Monroe County Legislator Rachel Barnhart, who was in the crowd. “It just so happened that people were able to respond quickly to get here and to make it known that this is not acceptable in our communities.”
“Within an hour, several hundred people, including lawmakers and clergy, showed up to witness and protect our neighbors,” said Michi Wenderlich, Metro Justice campaign and policy coordinator, in a statement. “Rochester shows up to protect each other, and I’m proud of our community.”

Proud of our residents and many of the organizing activist groups including Rochester Rapid Response Network and Metro Justice to assemble 200+ folks in such short order to bear witness and force ICE to abandon their fascist tactics!

That evil fucking asshole needs to spend the rest of his worthless life behind bars! 
What do you think? Could every state organize something?
They will have to hire immigrants to go up and get them!
