Immigration advocates will be speaking out again against ramped up efforts from the Trump Administration on immigration.
Hundreds are expected to attend a rally in Washington Square Park this afternoon to denounce the raids taking place across the country.
Protesters gathered yesterday in front of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Lower Manhattan.
Sources tell NY1 officers began cracking down on immigrant communities nationwide.
A Department of Justice source says it will be actively targeting sanctuary cities like New York in so-called "enforcement surges."
"New York City is built on immigrants," one protester said Friday. "It's a country built on immigrants. And we're here to say we won't stand for these raids and attacks."
"Anyone can be vulnerable," said another protester outside the ICE office in Lower Manhattan. "And at this moment, folks have to come out, get information, to start having emergency plan in place, to make sure their family have a plan in case something happens."
Last month, the President issued an order that targets undocumented immigrants convicted of a crime or charged with a crime that has not been resolved.
He also wants to cut off federal funding to sanctuary cities who do not comply with his Executive Orders.
