Protesters in Mineola called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to
leave Long Island.
People who came to the rally like Joseph Oquendo from Freeport say they're standing up for immigrants in Nassau and Suffolk.
"I defend the immigrants who come here to this country to work to help us out, to progress, to help their families," he said.
"We want to make sure that this administration goes after those real criminals across the board," said Glenis Palacios, of Westbury.
The rally on Franklin Avenue was peaceful and police were on the scene to make sure everyone stayed safe.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman released a statement about the protest:
“Less than 100 people showed up to protest ICE while thousands have praised Nassau County for working with ICE to rid our county of dangerous criminals.”
