"AP Photo/Jose Luis Mag ICE agents raided New York City's Canal Street on Tuesday, just days after a conservative influencer complained about that exact spot. Immigration and Customs Enforcement carried out a raid on Chinatown on Tuesday. Assistant Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said agencies conducted a targeted, intelligence-driven enforcement operation that was focused on criminal activity relating to selling counterfeit goods."
"According to McLaughlin, one rioter was arrested for assault on a federal officer in the area. During this law enforcement operation, rioters who were shouting obscenities, became violent and obstructed law enforcement duties, including blocking vehicles and assaulting law enforcement, she said. As former Politico reporter Max Tani pointed out, the ICE raid followed a MAGA influencer complaining about the neighborhood."
