Federal agents detained several people while conducting an operation on Manhattan’s busy Canal Street, searching for undocumented immigrants who may have connections to illegal street vending, according to a senior law enforcement official familiar with the matter.
The Department of Homeland Security described the raid as an intelligence-driven enforcement targeting the counterfeit goods trade.
Federal agents arrived at Canal Street in Chinatown, where illegal street vendors are known to operate, the Department of Homeland Security said. Some vendors attempted to flee the area, according to New York station WABC, while video from amNY.com shows bystanders pushing toward and accosting officers while chanting “ICE out now.”
