Thousands of New Yorkers march in lower Manhattan calling for ICE out of New York.
Starting at Foley Square and organized by PSL, the masses have flooded the streets and are moving west. This demo is permitted but even if it wasn’t, it would be far too large for NYPD to contain.

New from me: I wrote about the soon to be 88-year-old Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton saying she’s running for a 19th term. It speaks to both the gerontocracy problem among Democrats and, unfortunately for DC residents, “how little value is placed in the seat she holds.”
