Why the ICE uprisings won’t be as prevailing as the BLM protests of 2020 Five years ago, the Black Lives Matter protests became the broadest and most sustained social movement in recent U.S. history by multiple measures. Coinciding with the fifth anniversary of the 2020 protests is another large-scale crusade against law enforcement, specifically against immigration authorities. At the peak of the 2020 protests, crowd-counters estimated as many as 26 million people poured out into the streets, with pop-up BLM marches even spreading to small-town America. In comparison, the latest wave of uprisings targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement, though expanding across the country, will likely not have the same staying power due to a handful of fundamental differences in both the movements driving them and the outside circumstances shaping them. Police response The law enforcement response to the anti-ICE riots, depending on jurisdiction, is mostly swifter and fiercer than before, perhaps in hopes of preventing a repeat of 2020. In an interview with the Washington Examiner, retired Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith, a spokeswoman for the National Police Association, noted that elected officials have more of a mandate this time to protect federal officers from the onslaught of chaos.
