SUMMARY:ICE OUT of 35 HARRISON!
DESCRIPTION:ICE OUT of 35 HARRISON! \nTribeca residents believe ICE is parking at ICON’s garage at 35 Harrison Street in Independence Plaza\, NYC. \nWhat do we know? \n\nThe garage is federally contracted and closed to the public. HSI (Homeland Security Investigations – a division of ICE) routinely parks vehicles there.\nCurrently this garage holds a fleet of brand new\, unlicensed SUVs – exactly the type ICE uses for abductions\, and which could quickly be deployed in an ICE surge.\n35 Harrison is .6 miles from ICE’s headquarters at 26 Federal Pl. and just 1 mile from the ICE Field Office at 201 Varick St. – both launching pads for kidnapping our neighbors.\nMAGA billionaire Steven Roth is CEO of Vornado which owns Independence Plaza where the garage is located.\n\nJOIN US! \nMonday August 3 5:30 pm \nCorner of Harrison & Greenwich \nSubways – A/C or 1/3 to Chambers St. \nNO PARKING for ICE ANYTIME\, ANYWHERE \nبقدلي لل
