One roofer was taken into custody, while others stayed on the rooftop, WXXI News reported.

Some (protestors) were heard chanting "shame" and called the agents "gestapo," according to the outlet.

The Western New York Coalition of Farmworker Serving Agencies helped mediate the standoff, according to WXXI.

"The coalition is committed to standing alongside farmworkers, immigrants, and migrants to ensure dignity, fairness, and access to justice," coalition Executive Director Irene Sanchez said in a news release.
