Anti-ICE protester exposed as serial left-wing activist since 1980s,

The activist justified blocking New York City traffic by saying it was only 'temporary.'

Two anti-immigration enforcement protesters who blocked New York City traffic this week have been revealed as long-time activists, with one participating in protests since the 1980s.

The two activists were filmed on Tuesday morning blocking traffic on Houston Street in Lower Manhattan. One of the New Yorkers in the stopped traffic, a mother, pleaded with the activists to move out of the way so she could get to work. The activists instead told her there was nothing they could do, with one even laughing at the idea that she had a job to get to.

'We were preventing the cars from driving into the marchers. There were at least 10,000 of them behind us.'

The two activists, who were part of a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arresting illegal immigrants, were identified by the Daily Mail as individuals who have been involved in left-wing activism for years.

One activist, identified as Karen Ramspacher, is a 60-year-old who has engaged in activism since at least 1989. As the Daily Mail noted, Ramspacher was quoted in a 1989 issue of OutWeek magazine about being arrested at an abortion rights protest.
