Marked NYPD cars vandalized in NYC before anti-Trump protests
June 15, 2025
At least three marked NYPD cars were vandalized in the Big Apple between Friday night and Saturday morning, hours before thousands of anti-Trump demonstrators took to the streets, police said.
A police cruiser was found parked at 73rd Street and Broadway in Jackson Heights, Queens, around 6 a.m. bearing yellow graffiti that read “FTP,” which protesters use to mean “f–k the police,” cops said.
A second marked car was found a few hours later on East 152nd Street and Tinton Avenue in the Bronx at 9:20 a.m., with what cops believe was a slashed tire, a police spokesman said.
Someone also threw a glass bottle at the front windshield of a marked police cruiser at Marcus Garvey Boulevard and Madison in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, around 9 p.m. Friday, police said.
The vandalism happened about two days after police cars were set aflame in a parking lot outside a Brooklyn NYPD stationhouse in a suspected arson attack.

Arson Attack on Police Van in Williamsburg
June 18, 2025
Last night before the rain I put a package of flamey on the wheel of a police van by union and metropolitan in williamsburg. I don’t know exactly what happened next, but I’m glad I did it and recommend everyone try as many firey ways as possible for as long as breaking cop toys is seen as violence while people being forcefully removed from their loved ones and from the ground and resources they have every right to by being born on this planet is seen as law and routine.
Against a coward hearted nation that fronts for free speech while allowing a young woman to be jumped in the street for writing against genocide, and organizers and protesters to be kidnapped.
Against a fraudulent country that is willing to expose its illusion of liberty as posturing as long as it can stay scared of brown people’s freedom.
For Rumeysa Ozturk, for Mahmoud Khalil, for all the families, friends, nieghbors imprisoned. For everyone stolen from us, from one of so many who WILL. NOT. FORGET THEM.

Four Detainees Escape Newark ICE Facility
June 13, 2025
Four detainees at an ICE detention center in Newark, N.J., have escaped, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
U.S. Sen. Andy Kim of New Jersey, a Democrat, told reporters on Friday that the men escaped by knocking down a wall composed of drywall and mesh material. The escape occurred amid unrest among the detainees who weren’t receiving enough food and subjected to other poor conditions in the detention center, he said.
Kim, who visited the detention center Friday and got a briefing from officials, told reporters the facility is undergoing a major security review to find out if other walls could be breached.
Immigration attorney Mustafa Cetin said a client of his held at the facility called him Thursday evening and said detainees were knocking things down and blocking security cameras. Cetin said his client reported seeing some detainees knock down a wall and escape.
“Less than a month and a half since this facility opened, we now have learned that there are chronic food shortages, undrinkable water, crumbling mesh walls, and inadequate staffing that led to the chaos that devolved yesterday,” executive director Amy Torres said.
The Delaney Hall detention center has been the site of a standoff between GEO Group and city officials and pro-immigrant groups that oppose the operation of the jail. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, a Democrat who is running for governor, was arrested at the facility in May after he attempted to inspect the facility at the invitation of members of congress.

Another NYC protest against ICE raids ends with arrests
June 12, 2025
Another protest against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids ended with arrests in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday.
Protesters returned to the federal immigration courts for a second night of demonstrations in solidarity with the protests in Los Angeles, where President Trump has deployed the National Guard and Marines despite objections from the city’s mayor and California’s governor.
Wednesday’s protest began as a peaceful gathering in the afternoon.
Protesters later marched to the federal immigration courts, where they again clashed with New York City Police officers and arrests ensued. Police said two people were charged and eight were issued summonses.
Nearly 3 dozen arrested during Tuesday’s protest
A protest Tuesday night in New York City turned violent and ended with dozens arrested.
Thousands came out Tuesday night for what started as a peaceful protest that then devolved into a tense and at times violent scene. Some 86 people were taken into custody, and 34 of them were arrested on charges that include disorderly conduct.
“They decided to throw items, garbage cans, rocks, bricks, anything that basically wasn’t nailed down, they were picking it up and throwing it, and they were putting debris in the street so that the vehicles couldn’t pass.”
Video taken Tuesday shows what appears to be federal officers deploying some type of gas onto the crowd of protesters outside immigration court.

Call for Skillshare Proposals – Theme: Survival, Resistance & Repair
The world they built is collapsing—and it was never meant to hold us anyway. The air is thick with smog and endings. And still, we remain. Beneath the ruin, something stirs: hands in soil, medicine from weeds, instructions passed through broken frequencies. We are not gathering to be seen. We are gathering to prepare.
We’re calling for workshops on what keeps us alive and thriving outside of capital; in the face of extinction: guerrilla gardening, wild plant ID, DIY healthcare, tincture-making, abortion access, hormone care, self-defense, somatics, self-regulation, bio remediation, prepper magic, makeshift shelters, analog comms, wilderness first aid, infrared detection avoidance, squatting for longevity, and anti-tech survival that exists outside of omnipresent surveillance.
We want to know what to do when there’s no food on the shelves, when the grid goes dark, when the body breaks down and no help is coming. We want to explore how to interfere, how to disrupt, how to wound the systems that keep us docile, monitored, and afraid. There are many forms of offense. Let’s explore all of them.
Just as urgently, we need the skills that keep us from turning on each other. The kind of survival that chooses care as strategy. That knows self-tending is not separate from community defense. That resists disposability and domination alike. That finds ways to stay in relationship even through rupture. If you hold knowledge that feeds, protects, soothes, or repairs—bring it.
The future is burning. Let us gather what’s worth saving, and learn to defend it.

NYPD vehicles torched in suspected arson attack as cops find undetonated explosive devices nearby
Admin note: the communique for this action can be found here.
June 12, 2025
Arsonists torched at least 11 NYPD vehicles in a targeted attack in a Brooklyn parking lot early Thursday — with undetonated explosive devices also found after two masked suspects were seen running away, police and sources said.
Police and FDNY responded to a report of multiple vehicles ablaze at a lot in Bushwick at the intersection of Central and DeKalb avenues — just a block from the 83rd Precinct station house — around 1:30 a.m. Thursday.
Mayor Eric Adams said at an unrelated press conference that 11 vehicles were damaged and 14 were impacted. No injuries were reported.
Cops also discovered three incendiary devices that did not go off placed on cars in the lot soon after two people wearing masks and gloves were seen running away, sources said.
Photos from the scene obtained by [news source] show spheres with wicks sticking out above a tire on the cars — similar to fire starters that can be bought at Home Depot.
Video obtained by [news source] from an adjacent building shows one of the suspects in all black walking up to the Central Ave side of the lot. He then sets up a wooden table, checks if the coast was clear, and throws himself over the fence, the video shows.
“He used that wooden table there. He put it right here in the corner and he held on to this gate on the side and then climbed over. You could see in the video, you could see him pretty clear,” resident Miriam Benado, a retired housekeeper, said.
She said the man was “short and slim” and wearing all black. Benado assumes that he lives somewhere in the neighborhood “by the way he knew where everything was.”
“When the cops were trying to get into the gate, he didn’t panic and run back to where he came in. He knew where the back alley was … Most people don’t know that that even exists,” she said.
Nick Lopez, who lives directly across the street from the parking lot, said he realized immediately the fire “wasn’t a coincidence,” and described hearing the loud explosions as the cars burned.
The NYPD did not immediately give a suspected motive for the attack, however a flyer taped to a wall directly across from the police station accuses officers of the 83rd precinct of breaking up Puerto Rican Day festivities on Sunday night, injuring revelers.
The fliers called for resistance against the police, and tied in the anti-ICE and protests have spread from Los Angeles to New York City and global anti-Israel protests.
“Now is the time for unified, disciplined action — from Palestine to Puerto Rico to Los Angeles, the struggle for freedom continues,” the flier read.
Although no connection has yet to be made by cops, the attack was celebrated by one passerby walking past the scene early Thursday calling it “awesome” and “f–king rad.”
Mayor Adams said the “damage is unacceptable and we will find the person involved.”
“We refuse to allow disorder to reign in our city” he added.

Solidarity with Los Angeles! Arson attack on multiple NYPD vehicles.
Multiple NYPD cars were set on fire in the early, early morning of Thursday June 12th. The cars were just waiting there, practically begging for a new makeover! Tips on replicating this can be found on most counterinfo sites or just common knowledge; this was way easy. And so fun. Apologies to the community for the smell and the noise. And fuck you and haha to that pig—yeah, you know who you are.
There are many reasons for doing this, but for the sake of time it can be boiled down to four: 1) Solidarity with the uprising happening in Los Angeles where community and rebels are fighting Amerikkkan pig forces. From one cop city to another, death to the pigs and the surveillance state. 2) Revenge for the NYPD’s continuous physical and sexual harassment/assault of protestors, particularly femmes (incidents include removing of hijabs, forced nudity, degrading remarks, and more). 3) Something to show that repression breeds resistance and 4) Demonstrating that solidarity with the Palestinian resistance, immigrants, Black people doesn’t mean pointless demos where everyone gets arrested, endless marches to nowhere, and vapid chants. Solidarity means ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!
Sincerely, the anarchists and the rats and the brats and the lawless.

Federal agents briefly detain aide at New York Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office during nearby protests against migrant detentions
June 1, 2025
Federal agents with the Department of Homeland Security handcuffed and briefly detained a staff member in New York Rep. Jerry Nadler’s Manhattan district office on Wednesday, according to a statement released by the congressman.
Video taken by a person inside Nadler’s office shows one of his aides being handcuffed by an agent with the Federal Protective Service while another agent tries to access an area inside the office.
In the footage, a second staffer stands in front of the agent and asks if he has a warrant. “You’re harboring rioters in the office,” the federal agent is heard telling her, before walking in. In the background, the handcuffed aide is heard crying while someone tries to comfort her.
The agents allegedly entered Nadler’s office because they were told protesters were present and the agents “were concerned about the safety” of employees in the office, the Department of Homeland Security told [news source] in a statement on Saturday.
Activists on Wednesday were protesting outside of Varick Immigration Court — located on a different floor of the same building as Nadler’s office — in opposition to the detention of migrants at the courthouse by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
Upon the officers’ arrival, they identified themselves and said they were conducting a security check when “one individual became verbally confrontational and physically blocked access to the office,” the statement said.
“The officers then detained the individual in the hallway for the purpose of completing the security check. All were released without further incident,” DHS said.
Robert Gottheim, Nadler’s chief of staff, told [news source] on Sunday the Department of Homeland Security’s version of events was a “total fabrication.”
The incident occurred as the Trump administration has taken extraordinary measures to crack down on immigration, aggressively pressuring Immigration and Customs Enforcement to pick up the pace of migrant arrests and touting mass deportation plans.
Nadler called the incident “deeply troubling” in a Saturday statement and confirmed Department of Homeland Security officers “forcefully” entered his office and handcuffed the staff member.
“President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidation tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner,” he said.
“If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone – and it is happening,” Nadler said.
Gottheim said the agents appeared “upset” because members of Nadler’s staff witnessed the officers detaining migrants inside the building, and because staffers had invited advocates who saw the detentions to the congressman’s office.
Court watchers, advocates and some members of Nadler’s staff had gathered on the fifth floor, which houses the immigration court, to observe court activity following reports that immigration officers were detaining migrants after their immigration appointments.
Staff members noticed ICE officers were in the lobby holding sheets of paper with pictures of asylum seekers who were coming in for their hearings, Gottheim said.
“Really what happened is we have these ICE officers who are working with Federal Protective Services, upset that we are watching them, seeing what they’re doing, and that we invited these other people who were observing back to our office,” Gottheim told [news source].
Officers ignored staffers’ requests to see a warrant, he added.
“They push their way into the office, even though my staff doesn’t want them in,” Gottheim said. “They had no right to be in the office, and there’s no exigent circumstances of why they would have come: We didn’t call them for assistance, there was no riot, there was no protest going on in the office.”
Nadler was not in the office at the time of the incident but arrived shortly after his staff called him to alert him to what was unfolding.
The aide was still detained when he arrived, according to Gottheim, but Nadler spoke with the officers and helped defuse the situation so that the staffer could be released.
