Anti-ICE protests are actively happening across the US, with specific actions reported in Manhattan near the Hilton Garden Inn and in front of the Southern District Court of New York. Organizers are calling for a national strike to bolster the movement.

The core dispute centers on NYC official Zohran Mamdani. Commenters accuse him of hypocrisy, noting he praises anti-ICE action while simultaneously overseeing the NYPD, an agency accused of using repressive units like the Special Response Group (SRG) against protestors. Furthermore, activists are split on strategy: some favor reform within the Democratic Party, while others, like 'thelastaxolotl,' demand a complete shift toward building a socialist party structure, arguing the current system is monolithic ('La migra! La policía! Son la misma porquería.').

The consensus is an anti-ICE mobilization across the US. However, the internal fault line shows a deep skepticism toward established political structures. The critique leveled by 'thelastaxolotl'—that city officials are complicit in repression—dominates the high-stakes conversation, overshadowing the initial protest focus on corporations like Hilton.
