bing news | Protestors arrested for sit-in at Palantir after anti-ICE Passover rally with Mayor Mamdani

Mayor Zohran Mamdani addressed a crowd of anti‑ICE demonstrators at Union Square on the sixth night of Passover during “Seder in the Streets,” a rally organized by Jews for Racial & Economic Justice. After the public gathering, dozens of activists marched to Palantir’s Chelsea office and staged a sit‑in inside the lobby. Police eventually arrested fifteen participants who refused to leave, issuing them court summonses and indicating they would be released pending further proceedings.

Palantir Technologies, a high‑profile AI‑software firm, has drawn criticism for providing data‑analytics tools that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) uses to identify, track, and deport immigrants. New York City Comptroller Mark Levine has asked Palantir for an independent third‑party human‑rights risk assessment of its work with the Department of Homeland Security. Protesters held banners equating ICE’s actions with “kidnapping” and referencing the Exodus story, declaring “ICE kidnaps, Palantir profits. Let our people go,” while chanting that the crimes of ICE stem from its collaborations with corporate partners.

The rally also featured rabbis leading songs, activists reading testimonies from people detained by ICE, and a banner proclaiming “Jews against deportation.” Mayor Mamdani linked the Passover narrative to the current immigration crackdown, saying, “The lessons of hope, solidarity and freedom can help us resist oppression, even when freedom feels out of reach for many New Yorkers.” The event highlighted both the symbolic power of the Passover story and the growing activist pressure on the city and private companies to halt their cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
