More than 50 federal agents fanned out in the heart of Lower Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon, brushing past confused tourists and pedestrians to detain several men near Canal Street and quickly drawing dozens of protesters to the streets.
The Department of Homeland Security described the operation as “focused on criminal activity relating to selling counterfeit goods.”
.... News of the raid spread quickly on social media, leading protesters to show up and chase some of the federal agents down Lafayette Street as they traveled to the ICE offices at 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan. More federal agents showed up in tactical gear, along with an armored vehicle, leading to a chaotic scene as agents pushed back protesters.
.... The officers, from an array of federal agencies, detained several men who were standing on Church and Lispenard Streets, asking for their IDs and whisking them away into vans parked nearby, according to witnesses."
