The NYPD says officers took multiple people into custody during a protest in Chinatown Saturday afternoon.

Protesters had gathered outside a parking garage at Centre Street and Howard Street that ICE agents had entered.

The NYPD says it had no coordination with the ICE operation and was responding to a call about a "disorderly group blocking the street and garage entrance."

Police say those arrested did not comply with instructions to move, which were given multiple times. Multiple others were arrested for disorderly conduct for throwing planters and jumping over barricades, police said.

The NYPD says their response was the same as it would've been for any protest.

The incident comes after federal immigration authorities made an arrest on Canal Street last weekend.
