A dramatic standoff in upstate New York between immigration agents, roofers and protesters ended with officials leaving the scene with slashed tires Tuesday.
The confrontation happened at a residential job site where one worker was detained and others refused to come down from a rooftop in Rochester’s Park Avenue area.
The incident escalated quickly when more than 100 protestors gathered at the scene.
Some were heard chanting “shame” and called the agents “gestapo,” according to the outlet.
At one point, a CBP vehicle was allegedly forced to retreat on four slashed tires as the crowd clapped. A few blocks away from the scene, the SUV was towed.
ICE was unable to reach the rest of the roofers and was successfully pushed out by community militancy. This comes as the DHS reports a 500% rise in assaults against ICE officers, and as liberals continue to push the line that we cannot take direct action and act autonomously to protect our community.
