ICE Agents Halt Raid After Local Residents Protest in Rochester, New York

HeadlineSep 10, 2025

In Rochester, New York, ICE agents were forced to abruptly halt a raid after local residents came out to protest. The standoff occurred as ICE agents attempted to detain three men who were fixing a roof. ICE arrested one of the men but left the two others on the roof as the size of the protest grew. Michi Wenderlich of the group Metro Justice said, “Within an hour, several hundred people, including lawmakers and clergy, showed up to witness and protect our neighbors. Rochester shows up to protect each other, and I’m proud of our community.”
