After enduring the long winding lines/queue at the Wholefoods supermarket to top up on my groceries in preparation for the incoming snow blizzard about to engulf the East Coast region, I stumbled upon a mass protest on Union Square in New York City. A location well known for hosting many a protest in American history. Tensions were high last night after the breaking news of Congress approving an increase in budget for ICE agency further their cause in the deportation of immigrants from the United States. New Yorkers from all works of life, ages (including babies), races and gender took to the streets to make their feelings known. The turn out is probably one of the biggest politically driven protest in a while. Armed with their various messages on signages, the chants were loud and clear, calling for the demolition of the ICE agency.
