Immigrant rights advocates are sounding the alarm over the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at protests. Last week, a viral video showed a group of ICE agents detaining a protester at a George Floyd rally in New York City. The Immigrant Defense Project said agents held the man on the ground as they pointed three guns at him. The man, who hasn’t been identified, was handcuffed and searched. He was reportedly released after agents found a military veteran’s ID on him. Immigration rights advocates say the man is a U.S. citizen of Puerto Rican descent. ICE recently confirmed the agency has deployed personnel at protests across the country.
