How and when the protesters were warned is in dispute. Anlin Wang, a member of the Occupy ICE collective, says they were given only two warnings. An Inquirer and Daily News reporter witnessed police giving protesters instructions about clearing certain areas, and while they were trying to clarify so they could comply, bike police came in from the back and destroyed the camp. Police spokesperson Sekou Kinebrew said Occupy ICE was given "numerous warnings" and opportunities to clear the affected areas before police took action.
