On New Year's Day, a pro-Palestinian group called WOL organized a blockade at JFK Airport, causing significant traffic gridlock and travel disruptions. Only travelers with boarding passes and employees with ID were allowed through certain checkpoints. The protest led to the Port Authority shutting down all entrances to JFK for those without a boarding pass, and the NYPD intervened to manage the situation. This event follows a series of protests in New York and other cities, including a disruptive march through NYC on New Year's Eve and a smoke bomb incident at Macy's. The NYPD had increased security measures in anticipation of potential demonstrations during the holiday celebrations.
