Protesters form human blockade outside ICE office in Center City Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Protesters from No ICE Philly formed a human blockade outside of the Philadelphia ICE office in Center City on Tuesday.

Organizers said they were attempting block vehicles from leaving the facility.

No ICE Philly is made up of faith and community leaders who say they want to protect neighbors from ICE actions in the city.

The roughly 30 protesters said they would refuse to leave until they are arrested or forcibly moved.

However, Philadelphia police told Action News early Tuesday afternoon that no arrests have been made so far.

On Monday, protesters filled the streets outside the federal courthouse in Center City, calling for an end to ICE raids and increased immigration enforcement.

The group behind that demonstration holds weekly protests at the Philadelphia ICE office and says it plans to continue pushing for an end to ICE enforcement.
