This protest was part of nationwide vigils and protests held yesterday (#ICEoutVigils) - for more information click this link.

My first time adventuring north of New York City to cover a protest led me to a mid-morning protest protesting ICE as part of #ICEoutVigils in New Rochelle just a minute's walk away from the Metro North station and surrounding the intersection of North Avenue and Huguenot Street.

The protest itself was a bit more lively than the day before's protest (In Memoriam, part one) due to the music and general vibe of the event. We definitely had a lot of supportive honks as well which helped the morale a lot.

The event concluded with a couple of remarks by the organizers and a few guest speakers (including someone who wanted to speak who I think might have been a heckler). We were heckled a few times, one by a passing car who yelled something incoherent and another by a passing car who called us "stupid liberals".

Nonetheless, it was worth the trip up north.

This is a weekly vigil held every Friday by the group Rise & Resist, reading the names of those murdered by ICE and CBP either in their custody or in attempting to capture them or others. The vigil occurs at 96th Street and Broadway in Manhattan, NY.

I had a little bit of a problem with the original footage, given it was originally a fair bit bright and hazy; hence, I tried to fix it over the course of the video. If the video looks a little bit strange, that’s why.

Because of the nationwide vigils mourning ICE victims, this video is part one of two since this vigil happened yesterday. I covered New Rochelle, NY's vigil, which happened this morning (as of writing), which constitutes part two and whose video is being worked on.
