On January 27, 2026, dozens of demonstrators occupied the lobby of the Hilton Garden Inn in Tribeca, Manhattan, around 6 p.m., protesting the alleged presence of federal immigration officers and recent deadly encounters in Minneapolis. Police ordered the crowd to disperse and, after 45 minutes, the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group arrested those who remained; sources report between 40 and 66 people were taken into custody. Witnesses said hundreds had gathered inside and outside the hotel chanting against ICE. Hilton declined immediate comment, and the Department of Homeland Security said it would not disclose whether agents were staying at the property. (abcnews.go.com)
