About 30 demonstrators block ICE Philadelphia garage in morning protest
Jan 20, 2026·Location: Philadelphia, PA

Pro-immigrant activists, including clergy members, blocked the garage at ICE's Philadelphia headquarters for approximately two hours on Tuesday morning to prevent agency vehicles from departing. Only one vehicle attempted to leave before Philadelphia police moved demonstrators aside; no arrests were made. Organizers with No ICE Philly ended the demonstration after accomplishing their stated goal, citing harsh weather conditions affecting older participants and those with medical conditions.
