Less than 24 hours after federal officials descended on Canal Street in New York City's Chinatown district, the scene there appeared to be relatively subdued Wednesday afternoon. Nine allegedly undocumented individuals were detained, after federal agents targeted Canal Street in what the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement described as "a targeted, intelligence-driven enforcement operation that focused on criminal activity relating to selling counterfeit goods." Video footage from the raid showed individuals being wrestled to the ground and strong-armed by masked federal agents.
