US EditionChaos and Confusion: ICE Comes to New York
Nine West African immigrants and four protesters were arrested during a military-style ICE raid on Chinatown's vendors, sparking calls from officials to end aggressive immigration enforcement.
- On Tuesday night, October 21, 2025, an ICE operation on Canal Street prompted New Yorkers and elected officials to march outside 26 Federal Plaza after dozens of immigrant vendors were arrested in Chinatown.
- A large multi-agency deployment targeted sidewalk vendors, with federal agents from multiple agencies using armored vehicles and officers with long guns on Canal Street Tuesday.
- Multiple detainees were released after producing ID, as reports show agents detained individuals who produced identification during the raid; Rep. Dan Goldman said at least four detainees were U.S. citizens.
- Officials cautioned against confrontations even as demonstrators tried to block vans, and NYPD police officers arrested protesters and shoved Queens City Council Member Tiffany Cabán when she intervened.
- Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons vowed more arrests in NYC, citing recent Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh rulings, as cities including Los Angeles and Chicago saw similar militarized operations.
