Incident:2025-06-07 New York NY Protest Arrests at 26 Federal Plaza
Summary: On June 7 2025, a protest outside 26 Federal Plaza resulted in 22 arrests after demonstrators attempted to block federal vehicles believed to be transporting detained immigrants. At least ten federal-style agents were present, working alongside NYPD and Federal Protective Service officers to disperse the crowd and enforce access to the building’s vehicle ramps.
Full description
The protest occurred at the federal complex at 26 Federal Plaza, where demonstrators gathered to stop vans and transport vehicles suspected of carrying individuals detained inside the building. Witnesses reported a rapid deployment of federal agents and NYPD officers after protesters formed a human blockade along the access route normally used for detainee movement.
Agents then moved through the crowd and began making arrests. A total of 22 protesters were taken into custody. The event formed part of a series of escalating confrontations around the facility during mid-2025, driven by increased public concern over the conditions inside the federal detention and intake areas of the building.
The footage and descriptions suggest at least ten agents participated directly in crowd movement and arrests, with more likely present in reserve positions out of view.
