Elite-backed activists in New York City's major courthouse scuffled with ICE officers picking up migrants for deportation. The activists aim to minimize deportations by harassing ICE officials and portraying peaceful arrests as chaos. The opposition is part of a larger resistance to President Trump's immigration policies, with top Democratic leaders joining in. Immigrant ARC, an elite-led pro-migration group, is involved in supporting immigrants facing deportation.
