Protesters block ICE from leaving garage to conduct Canal Street sweep as NYPD makes arrests
Protesters used barricades to block ICE vehicles, leading to clashes with NYPD and over 10 arrests, while it remains unclear if ICE completed any detainments.
- On Nov. 29, anti-ICE protesters confronted masked federal agents outside a Chinatown parking garage, and the NYPD arrived around 11:45 a.m. as federal vehicles left later that afternoon.
- Acting to block exits, demonstrators deployed wooden pallets and traffic barriers at garage entrances and pulled trash from dumpsters to obstruct vehicles.
- Clashes escalated, with one SRG Unit sergeant pepper-spraying protestors, journalists and officers while boxes and trash were hurled and NYPD officers used nightsticks and tackles; arrests included nine migrants and four protesters.
- An NYPD spokesperson said `The NYPD was not in coordination with today’s federal operation and does not conduct civil immigration enforcement, period,` while Commissioner Jessica Tisch told FBI Director Kash Patel that Saturday’s operation was unacceptable.
- The Times estimated about 200 people surrounded the garage during the standoff, it remains unclear whether ICE made detainments, and the clash occurred just blocks from a raid last month targeting Canal Street vendors.
