ICE agents make busts on Canal Street in NYC’s Chinatown in effort to crackdown on illegal vendors
A dramatic ICE raid on unlicensed sidewalk vendors in the Big Apple nabbed a crew of dangerous illegal migrants — including Senegalese outlaws with lengthy rap sheets for drug trafficking, robbery, domestic violence and assaults on cops, the feds said Wednesday.
Federal agents descended on the long-troubled Chinatown strip on Canal Street between Lafayette and Centre Streets on Tuesday, rounding up illegal vendors who peddle knockoff designer bags and stolen goods.
Nine migrants — the majority of whom were released into the US under the Biden administration — were arrested and taken into custody for deportation, Homeland Security officials said.

“ICE conducted a targeted, intelligence-driven enforcement operation on Canal Street in New York City, focused on criminal activity relating to selling counterfeit goods,” Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement Wednesday.
