Militants sought to trap Kessler and his cronies inside the park, blockading the entrance through which they\u2019d been escorted. After police failed to break through the crowd, they sneaked Kessler and the others out of the park in a van through another exit.\n\u003Cp\u003EThe crowd, made up of black-bloc crews and a large contingent of Black Lives Matter activists, deliberated what to do next, first considering a march on the headquarters of Immigration and Customs Enforcement before deciding to march instead to the Department of Justice. The crowd stormed through the streets, adapting the classic slogan \u201c1-2-3 \/ Fuck the police\u201d into a more contemporary one: \u201cFuck I-C-E \/ Fuck the police.\u201d\t\t\u003Caside id=\u0022inline_cta_1_module_289189\u0022 class=\u0022inline-cta-1\u0022\u003E\n\t\t\t\u003Cdiv class=\u0022inline-cta-blocks\u0022 id=\u0022inline_cta_289189\u0022\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\t\t\t\u003Cdiv class=\u0022cta\u0022 id=\u0022inline_cta_btn_289189\u0022\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\t\t\u003C\/aside\u003E\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\u003Cscript \u003E\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tvar inline_cta_text_289189            = \u0027\u0027;\n\t\t\tvar inline_cta_button_text_289189     = \u0027\u0027;\n\t\t\tvar inline_cta_url_289189             = \u0027\u0027;\n\t\t\tvar inline_cta_bg_color_289189        = \u0027\u0027;\n\t\t\tvar inline_cta_font_color_289189      = \u0027\u0027;\n\t\t\tvar cta_1_check_289189  = false;  \n\t\t\tvar is_user_logged_in = getCookie(\u0027SESSname\u0027);\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tif( is_user_logged_in != null ){\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tinline_cta_text_289189 = \u0027\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESupport Progressive Journalism\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you like this article, please give today to help fund \u003Cem\u003EThe Nation\u003C\/em\u003E\u2019s work.\u003C\/p\u003E\u0027;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tinline_cta_font_color_289189 = \u0027#000000\u0027;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tinline_cta_button_text_289189 = \u0027\u003Ca href=\u0022javascript:void(0)\u0022\u003E\u003Cinput type=\u0022button\u0022 class=\u0022btn btn_ffcf0d\u0022 name=\u0022submit_sailthru\u0022 value=\u0022Donate\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u0027;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tinline_cta_url_289189 = \u0027https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/inline-module-donate\/\u0027;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tinline_cta_bg_color_289189 = \u0027#ffcf0d\u0027;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t}else{\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tinline_cta_text_289189 = \u0027\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESupport Progressive Journalism\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you like this article, please give today to help fund \u003Cem\u003EThe Nation\u003C\/em\u003E\u2019s work.\u003C\/p\u003E\u0027;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tinline_cta_font_color_289189 = \u0027#000000\u0027;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tinline_cta_button_text_289189 = \u0027\u003Ca href=\u0022javascript:void(0)\u0022\u003E\u003Cinput type=\u0022button\u0022 class=\u0022btn\u0022 name=\u0022submit_sailthru\u0022 value=\u0022Donate\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u0027;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tinline_cta_url_289189 = \u0027https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/inline-module-donate\/\u0027;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tinline_cta_bg_color_289189 = \u0027#ffcf0d\u0027;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\tif( inline_cta_text_289189 !=\u0027\u0027 ){\n\t\t\t\tjQuery(\u0022#inline_cta_289189\u0022).html(inline_cta_text_289189);\n\t\t\t\tcta_1_check_289189 = true;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tif( inline_cta_button_text_289189 !=\u0027\u0027 ){\n\t\t\t\tjQuery(\u0022#inline_cta_btn_289189\u0022).html(inline_cta_button_text_289189);\n\t\t\t\tcta_1_check_289189 = true;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tif( inline_cta_url_289189 !=\u0027\u0027 ){\n\t\t\t\tjQuery(\u0022#inline_cta_btn_289189 a\u0022).attr(\u0022href\u0022,inline_cta_url_289189);\n\t\t\t\tcta_1_check_289189 = true;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tif( inline_cta_bg_color_289189 !=\u0027\u0027 ){\n\t\t\t\tjQuery(\u0022#inline_cta_btn_289189 a input\u0022).css(\u0022background\u0022,inline_cta_bg_color_289189);\n\t\t\t\tcta_1_check_289189 = true;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tif( inline_cta_font_color_289189 !=\u0027\u0027 ){\n\t\t\t\tjQuery(\u0022#inline_cta_btn_289189 a input\u0022).css(\u0022color\u0022,inline_cta_font_color_289189);\n\t\t\t\tcta_1_check_289189 = true;\n\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\tif( cta_1_check_289189 ){\n\t\t\t\tjQuery(\u0022#inline_cta_1_module_289189\u0022).addClass(\u0022inline-cta-module\u0022);\n\t\t\t}\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\u003C\/script\u003E\n\t\n\u003Cp\u003EEventually, as hundreds of militants neared the Department of Justice building, police trapped them in a narrow street, blocking the way forward and the way back.

Cops on motorcycles blocked the sidewalks. No one could leave as the two lines of police edged towards each other. It seemed as though a mass arrest \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2018\/07\/drops-charges-j20-anti-trump-defendants-180707081836772.html\u0022\u003Elike the one made on Inauguration Day\u003C\/a\u003E was imminent.\n\u003Cp\u003EThen, suddenly, the police kettle was gone\u2014demonstrators could walk free.
