The protestors entered the lobby of the Hilton Garden Inn Tribeca on 6th Ave. near W. Broadway around 6 p.m., police said.
Arrests began after protestors refused multiple orders to disperse, according to law enforcement.
Video posted to social media shows dozens of protestors inside the hotel lobby holding signs that read “Hilton stop housing ICE” as hundreds more chanted “NYPD go to hell, it is right to rebel” outside the building.
An NYPD spokesman could not immediately say how many protesters were arrested or what they were charged with.
