New York attorney general urges public to report ICE activity after raid targets vendors
New York Attorney General Letitia James created a portal for public to report ICE enforcement after 14 arrests during a targeted operation against counterfeit goods on Canal Street.
- On Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and federal partners conducted a targeted, intelligence-driven operation on Canal Street, Chinatown, resulting in 14 arrests, nine linked to the immigration sweep.
- DHS officials said the operation followed criminal intelligence and merchant complaints, while influencer Savanah Hernandez's October 19 post tagging ICE highlighted African immigrants selling goods.
- Vendors along the Canal Street strip packed up and fled the area, and local residents protested as U.S. citizens and Mor Ndiaye were briefly detained and released.
- On Wednesday, New York Attorney General Letitia James launched a Federal Action Reporting Form portal for the public to submit photos and videos, pledging to review submissions for possible violations.
- The monitoring portal from Letitia James, a longtime Trump critic, risks raising tensions with the White House, while Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin defended the sweep as intelligence-driven and warned against obstruction.
