Foley Square

For about two hours or so, protesters were out here.

Actually, we're outside the ICE offices here in Foley Square in lower Manhattan.

They were just demanding accountability.

Many people want answers.

There's that bullet hole in the windshield on the driver's side.

But now it will be up to the Bronx DA's office to decide whether or not they're going to bring charges.

But many people here in the community Here in Manhattan, where we have seen so many of the protests outside Foley Square, they're back at it, and they say they're going to be back out at 1 o'clock tomorrow protesting again.

And they're calling for answers.

Yeah, so we're here, Erin, in Manhattan, 'cause that's where the ICE offices are.

We actually were just in Foley Square, where there have been so many protests the last couple of years over ICE enforcement.

Yeah.

They have now moved over to this area outside another ICE office of Homeland Security on Varick Street.

Protesters spread that message.

How many more? How many more people have to be shot in our streets? How many more neighbors have to be ripped away? From Foley Square to Marble Hill.

What is sufficient is seeing these ice thugs behind bars.

NYPD cops prepared for a long night of trying to keep the peace.

Right now, I want to go out to MSNOW senior reporter Josh Einiger, who is live in Herald Square in Manhattan, where the protesters are starting to gather for this protest that will take place later today.

Tell us what's happening there on the ground, what's happened since you and I talked last night as that protest moved from Foley Square in the financial district up through Greenwich Village and through Manhattan as well.

Yeah, Jacob, good afternoon from Herald Square, best known really for the headquarters of Macy's in the annual Thanksgiving Day Parade.

But here is where this protest rally is set for the top of the hour coming up here in about 45 minutes or so.

At his press conference Friday, Mullen said the agents did have body cameras, but the department was not releasing the footage until later, a clear indication of a cover-up.

Early Friday evening, reporters from the World Socialist website attended a protest against ICE held at Foley Square.

They spoke to multiple people about the attempted murder.

A production editor told the WSWS he came to protest because, "...I believe what happened last night was wrong, and ICE is wrong." A cab driver similarly told reporters he came to protest because what happened was wrong and I don't think the NYPD should be collaborating with ICE.

Well, last night, protests erupted outside the hospital where Bagal was taken.

And we've learned a protest is now scheduled for 5.30 this afternoon at Foley Square.

Eyewitness News reporter Marcus Solis in Marble Hill with more on the outrage from the community.

Marcus.

Good evening.

No, right now we're at Foley Square, and the protest is happening right behind me in front of 26 Federal Plaza.

I wanna, uh, I don't know if you've seen this, and I don't know if you can see the screen, but there's video of the shooting out now.

Mm-hmm.

The only people who were causing danger are the ICE agents themselves, and I have heard nothing that explains why people would surround a car with guns or with no, uh, identification and shoot a father in his car with his child that he pu- picked up from school.

There's been no one who's been able to explain that with any kind of rationality

rationalitySo take us now, uh, to Foley Square, the protests.

What's going on?

The protest in Morningside Heights was just one of many campus demonstrations happening as part of a national day of action.

Groups also gathered in Manhattan's Foley Square wearing T-shirts and holding signs reading, "I am Jane Doe."
