WATCH: DACA Repeal Protest Brings Thousands To Foley Square

FOLEY SQUARE, NY – Police arrested at least 10 people during a massive march in Manhattan on Tuesday night protesting Donald Trump's decision to rescind a program that protects law-abiding children of undocumented immigrants.

More than one thousand protestors are estimated to have crowded in Foley Square in the Financial District to speak out against Trump on Tuesday night. Shortly after a rally, protesters marched to the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge, where multiple protestors blocked the roadway in a planned act of civil disobedience. New York City Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez was among those arrested on Tuesday night while peacefully sitting in the road on Centre Street. An NYPD spokesman did not immediately have information on how many people were arrested on Tuesday night or what they were charged with.

The Tuesday night protest comes just hours after 34 opponents to the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program were arrested during a sit in near Trump Tower which blocked off Fifth Avenue near East 56th Street. Protesters who were arrested at the Fifth Avenue event will be charged with disorderly conduct, the NYPD said.

At the Tuesday night rally, activists and local politicians condemned Trump's decision as "inhumane" and "un-American." New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman promised to sue the Trump administration over its DACA decision, although did not release specifics on what grounds he planned to challenge the decision.

"As the people's lawyer, I represent all New Yorkers, citizen and non-citizen alike," Schneiderman said. "And to President Trump, let me say something I've had to say many times this year: I'll see you in court."

Flor Reyes, a DACA recipient, pleaded with the hundreds gathered in Foley Square to keep protesting Trump's decision.

"Mr. President, I am an immigrant. I am a senior in college. I am a daughter. I am a niece," Reyes said on Tuesday night. "I am not a criminal. I have done everything right. and I simply want to give back to my community. Where is the crime in that, Mr. Trump?"

Tuesday night's protest started at about 6 p.m. in Foley Square before the crowd moved to Centre Street, near the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge. After multiple activists were arrested, protestors continued to march across the Brooklyn Bridge. The protest and march were planned by the New York Immigration Coalition, an activist group.

Watch: The Trump Administration Just Announced The End Of DACA

Earlier on Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said that, starting on Wednesday, the administration will not accept any new applications for DACA. Registration in the program lasts for two years.

Anyone whose registration expires in the next six months will have until Oct. 5 to apply for another two-year extension. But after DACA recipients' registrations expire outside the six-month window, they will not be able to reapply. This means, in part, that the hundreds of thousands of people who received work permits under the program will be forced to leave their jobs once their registrations expire.

President Barack Obama released a statement Tuesday calling the Trump administration's decision to get rid of DACA a political decision.

"Let’s be clear: the action taken today isn’t required legally. It’s a political decision, and a moral question," Obama said.
