After telling everyone to leave the street or face arrest, protestors began moving to the sidewalk. In an apparent escalation, NYPD officers used pepper spray and began forcing people backwards. In this clip you can hear protestors shouting "peaceful protest"

I stood watch at the Foley Square protest outside the ICE facility tonight. There was a huge line of officers there, maybe 10 police vehicles on site, two helicopters overhead, and a police bus ready to round protestors up. Only about 100 people showed up in my estimation.
