A clash during an anti-ICE protest in Philadelphia led to 15 arrests

Two Philadelphia police officers suffered minor injuries and 15 protesters were arrested after a physical confrontation erupted during a march denouncing deportations Tuesday evening in Center City, police said. Two protesters also reported minor injuries and received medical treatment, police said. “Several officers employed force while making arrests. Consistent with Philadelphia Police Department policy, every use of force has been documented and will undergo a review to ensure compliance with departmental guidelines,” the department said in a statement late Tuesday night. Around 4 p.m., about 50 people gathered for an “emergency action” at the Federal Detention Center at Seventh and Arch Streets after rumors about multiple arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the city spread online. ICE did not immediately return requests for comment. Immigrant rights group Juntos confirmed one ICE arrest in South Philadelphia at about 7 a.m. Tuesday, adding the group had connected the person to the Mexican Consulate for legal support. The group marched to the offices of ICE at Eighth and Cherry Street, then returned to the Federal Detention Center, police said. Then, according to police, there was a second march that began disrupting traffic and allegedly endangered public safety. Around 7 p.m., police attempted to make arrests and the “crowd’s behavior escalated, becoming violent and extremely disorderly.” One immigration advocate, who declined to give his name, said those arrested were unclear on what they did wrong. “Police pushed them for six or seven blocks,” he said. “They declared it an illegal assembly.” We share more details here: https://inquirer.com/news/philadelphi...
