Anti-ICE protesters disrupted a Roxbury Township Council meeting Tuesday, chanting “ICE out” as a political activist refused to leave the podium and officers intervened.
The confrontation centered on plans for an ICE facility at a warehouse in the township and the ongoing legal fight over the site.
During the meeting, environmental activist Ben Dziobek raised a federal court order involving an environmental review of the warehouse. An officer told him the meeting was for township business.
“A federal court order is not a suggestion,” Dziobek said. “The rule of law either applies to everyone or no one.”
Video provided by the Roxbury Township Democrats shows protesters chanting “No action, no peace” and “ICE out.”
The council then made a motion and voted to go into closed session before members left the public meeting.
The township itself has largely opposed the proposed facility and has filed a lawsuit seeking to stop it.
