NEW YORK — "ICE out of New York!"

Those were the words thousands of people chanted near the city's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office, and throughout the streets of Manhattan Tuesday night as part of a series of nationwide rallies against President Trump's immigration sweeps and the deployment of the U.S. military in California.

"There are many voices in my community that can't be here today out of fear of what the administration is doing, so I want to be here for them," 19-year-old Jeanet told NPR as she joined hundreds of other protesters in lower Manhattan Tuesday night.

Snip: Across the country, protesters also took to the streets in Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle, Dallas and half a dozen other cities.

The 2024 election was also about democracy and people voted for fascism. Not sure that democracy works as much as losing Medicaid.

However, just get out and make your voice heard!

Making Mexico pay for a stupid border wall was a terrible idea.
