ICE agents detained multiple migrants who were doing mandatory check-ins at a lower Manhattan office steps away from City Hall on Wednesday afternoon, sources said.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested the migrants after they checked in at an Intensive Supervision Appearance Program office hearing on Elk St., according to the New York Legal Assistance group.

“There’s a huge amount of pressure to increase the number of people being deported on a daily basis. So in that environment, it’s not surprising we’re seeing this activity happening in downtown New York,” said immigration advocate Naveed Hasan. “Why are our federal reps not resisting this? Why are they not standing up for New York, putting a stop to this lawlessness?”
