Susan Sarandon, Hannah Einbinder among 100+ detained at anti-Netanyahu protest; pair arrested near hotel

Two individuals were arrested after being seen emerging from a manhole near a New York City hotel where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was staying during the United Nations General Assembly. Samuel Reveron, 25, and Kevin Rodriguez, 26, were charged with trespassing and conspiracy following the incident on September 25, 2026. Police investigating the event stated there was no terrorism connection, as the men claimed they were searching for valuables in the sewer system.

Separately, over 100 people were detained at an anti-Netanyahu protest outside the UN headquarters on September 24, 2026. The demonstration, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, occurred before Netanyahu's address to the General Assembly. Those arrested, including celebrities like Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder along with several politicians, received criminal summonses for disorderly conduct after blocking traffic and refusing police orders to disperse. The protesters were advocating against Israeli policies and calling for an end to U.S. military aid to Israel.
