The NYPD says seventy-six protesters were arrested for blocking traffic in Manhattan Saturday afternoon.
The demonstrators staged a sit-in at the Microsoft store on Fifth Avenue.
Organizers say they were demanding the tech company stop letting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement use their technology.
The NYPD says fifty women and twenty-six men were arrested.
Last month 100 people were arrested when the same coalition held a protest against ICE on Manhattan’s Westside Highway.
The protest temporarity closed roadways to traffic.
In June, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wrote an article on LinkedIn saying: “I want to be clear: Microsoft is not working with the US government on any projects related to separating children from their families at the border.”
She went on to explain that the only Microsoft technology ICE is using is mail, calendar, messaging and document management.
