Mark-Viverito Arrested During DACA Protest At Trump Tower
City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito was arrested as part of a protest at Trump Tower Tuesday in defense of undocumented immigrants whose families brought them to the United States as young children.
Mark-Viverito was taken into custody after sitting down in the middle of 5th Avenue and 57th Street shortly after noon — an act of civil disobedience against President Trump’s recent move to expunge protections put in place by his predecessor on behalf of so-called Dreamers. . .
