Anti-ICE march in lower Manhattan is moving north, destination unknown.
Looks to be about a thousand people.
This march does not have a permit, and used amplified sound at the rally with no issues. A notable shift from the Adams admin that directed NYPD to nitpick.

Democrats consumed by finding a capitalist status quo have misunderstood that hyper capitalism has created this fascist take over.
It’s a political contest between capitalist morons and capitalist psychopaths.
