Dante de Blasio Was Among Those Arrested at Hilton Protest Against ICE

Of the 66 people arrested for occupying a Hilton in TriBeCa on Tuesday to protest the federal immigration crackdown, one held an unusual pedigree. There, wearing a “HILTON HOUSES ICE” sweatshirt, holding a “Hilton Don’t Let ICE Stay” banner, was Dante de Blasio, the son of former Mayor Bill de Blasio. “We’ve seen these authoritarian, violent tactics all across the country, in addition to an inhumane deportation campaign,” Dante de Blasio said. A TV ad Mr. de Blasio made at the age of 15 gave a crucial boost to his father’s first mayoral campaign.
