ICE arrests Nigerian national in Brooklyn; police clash with protesters outside hospital
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested Chidozie Wilson Okeke, a Nigerian national, outside Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn on Saturday night. Protesters gathered outside the hospital in response, and NYPD officers responded to reports of disorderly conduct, resulting in nine people taken into custody. DHS claimed Okeke had overstayed his visa and resisted arrest by weaponizing his vehicle; the protest and police response became physical.
