Protesters Hold Anti-ICE Vigil Outside Courthouse In Lower Manhattan

Members of the group Rise and Resist and their allies hold a vigil outside the Jacob K. Javitz Federal Building at 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan, New York, on March 26, 2026. The building houses an immigration court and detention facilities and has been a site of daily arrests and detentions over the past year. In a court filing on March 24, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York stated that the government had erroneously claimed since 2025 that new ICE Guidance permitted such arrests at immigration courts. However, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement today that such arrests will continue. (Photo by Melissa Bender/NurPhoto)
