Officials had largely steered clear of arrests at immigration courts out of concern that they would deter people from showing up for hearings.

At least five people were arrested Saturday as a mob of nearly 100 protesters cursed at cops and tried to block federal authorities apparently conducting immigration raids in Lower Manhattan, according to police and video from the chaotic scene.

Video shared with DC News Now, taken by the advocacy group New Virginia Majority, appears to show ICE agents making arrests outside an immigration court in Loudoun County.
