Federal immigration authorities arrested multiple people, including street vendors and protesters, on Tuesday afternoon in a targeted operation on Canal Street in Manhattan’s Chinatown, authorities and law enforcement sources said. What began as a planned enforcement action by federal agents erupted into chaos as crowds yelled at Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The Department of Homeland Security said the federal immigration enforcement operation was focused on cracking down on the sale of counterfeit goods and involved agents from ICE, the FBI and the ATF. It’s unclear how many vendors were detained, but DHS said at least one protester was arrested for allegedly assaulting a federal officer. #trump #ice #newyork #newyorkcity #chinatown #usa
