Because blocking people going to work is such a great way of getting them on your side…not.
NEW YORK (WABC) — Several were arrested Saturday after protesters against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had partially blocked the West Side Highway in Manhattan, the NYPD said.
Commuters should expect road closures 12th Avenue and West 22nd Street. The West Side Highway and West 26th Street have since reopened.
Video shows dozens of demonstrators sitting in the middle of the highway, linking arms and chanting, “ICE lurks here.”
