[NYPOST] About two dozen anti-ICE protesters swarmed the lobby of Trump Tower in Manhattan Monday, and were busted after refusing to leave.
The mostly grey-haired crowd sat together on the ground, chanting, ''Bring them back! Bring them home!'' as NYPD cops descended on the Fifth Avenue skyscraper around 1 p.m.
The group called for the release of inmates from the notorious hellhole prison CECOT in El Salvador — where migrants colonists deported from the US, and even ''dangerous'' American citizens convicted of heinous crimes are held in overcrowded cells.
''We are demanding that the administration bring back everyone from CECOT to the United States, release them ICE custody, return them to their homes and families and allow them their day in court,'' demanded a woman leading the protest.
The NYPD confirmed that the protesters were given multiple orders to disperse from the lobby, but refused to comply.
An audio recording with the message, ''This is the New York City Police Department. You are occupying these premises unlawfully and without permission. I am ordering you to leave these premises now. If you refuse to leave, you may be subject to arrest,'' played before police began placing the crew in zip-tie handcuffs.
