A video circulating on social media, claiming to show New Yorkers throwing snowballs at ICE officers in protest of Trump-era immigration policies, has been debunked. Independent verification by Newsweek and community notes on X indicate the footage actually depicts protests in Moscow, Russia, in January 2021, where demonstrators threw snowballs at riot police during Alexei Navalny-related demonstrations. While similar incidents of bystanders confronting federal agents have occurred in U.S. cities, they are unrelated to this viral clip.
