On Saturday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Chidozie Wilson Okeke, a Nigerian national with a criminal record, including previous arrests for assault and drug possession. The arrest took place after ICE officers followed their training protocols, using the minimum necessary force.

After his arrest, Okeke requested medical assistance and was taken to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, where he was evaluated and cleared by medical staff. However, during this time, a group of anti-ICE protesters gathered at the hospital, leading to violent confrontations that resulted in damage to ICE vehicles and assaults on ICE officers.
