Federal agents, including those from ICE, have carried out a joint crackdown on NYC's Canal Street, targeting alleged illegal vendors in the Chinatown neighborhood. The operation has resulted in arrests, with some reports indicating that US citizens were also detained. The specifics of the crackdown and its outcomes are not entirely clear, with separate reports mentioning ICE activities in other parts of the country and controversy surrounding the use of force by an ICE agent in a separate incident.
