More than 50 federal agents fanned out in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday, brushing past confused tourists and pedestrians to detain several African immigrants near Canal Street and quickly drawing dozens of protesters to the streets. Nine people were arrested during the operation that the Department of Homeland Security described as “focused on criminal activity relating to selling counterfeit goods.” The sight of dozens of masked immigration agents descending on the edge of TriBeCa was a visible display of force by the Trump administration in the streets of Manhattan and prompted some New Yorkers to push back.
