Although officials at the hotel declined to comment and the status of immigration officers' presence remains undisclosed, activists are increasingly vocal in their opposition to treatment of immigrants. The protest culminated in interventions by the NYPD, resulting in the arrest of dozens, which reflects growing societal tensions around immigration policies and enforcement.
