Overview
- Rise and Resist led the one-hour action outside the Midtown skyscraper, staging chants, drums and a coordinated middle-finger salute.
- Demonstrators counted down and then raised foam and real middle fingers while shouting profanities and anti-ICE slogans.
- Traffic on Fifth Avenue was briefly blocked as hundreds gathered; an organizer put turnout as high as 1,000, an estimate not independently verified.
- The group said it will ask Guinness World Records to recognize the display; the event dispersed without arrests or incidents.
- Some signs referenced accusations linked in public discourse to Jeffrey Epstein; Trump has denied wrongdoing and has not been charged in those matters.
