NEW YORK, NY — A spectacle proceeded to unfold as New York City temporarily cleared its bustling streets to make way for a rave party for a migrants and protesters. The unusual event unfolded, as thousands of migrants and protesters gathered in a remarkable fit of shouting grievances and getting lost in the music.
Even local businesses got in on the action. Food trucks served rave-themed dishes like “Glow-in-the-Dark Hot Dogs,” while souvenir shops sold limited-edition “NYC Rave Party” merchandise.
Police officers, usually tasked with maintaining order during protests, found themselves dabbing and generally getting down with the revelers. “It’s a nice change of pace,” one officer admitted while attempting the worm on a cardboard dance floor.
Eventually, the sun began to rise over the city that never sleeps, and the makeshift dance floor started to thin out. But the sense of unity and community lingered in the air as the last revelers departed.
