An “emergency” edition of the World Naked Bike Ride took place yesterday as protesters took to the streets on bicycles, heading toward the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in the city. The unusual off-season demonstration — typically held during the summer — was organized in response to what participants described as urgent concerns over immigration policies and human rights.
Riders, many wearing minimal or symbolic clothing, carried banners and messages calling for greater compassion in immigration enforcement and climate justice — two issues often highlighted by the World Naked Bike Ride movement. Organizers said the nudity represented both vulnerability and freedom, drawing attention to the intersection of environmental and social causes.
The event proceeded peacefully, with police overseeing the route to ensure safety. Spectators lined the streets as the protest made its way to the ICE building, where demonstrators held a brief rally before dispersing. The impromptu ride served as both a statement of solidarity and a reminder of the movement’s broader message: visibility, humanity, and the power of peaceful protest.
