Overview

  • Videos from 209 Centre St. show crowds preventing ICE vehicles from exiting as chants of “ICE out of New York” rang out.
  • The NYPD said it responded at 11:46 a.m. and officers used pepper spray to move the crowd so federal vehicles could depart.
  • Police made multiple arrests, according to the NYPD and local reports, with at least 10 people seen taken into custody.
  • The standoff delayed the planned sweep, and there was no immediate indication of ICE arrests tied to this specific operation.
  • The episode followed recent Canal Street raids targeting counterfeit sales and was widely documented on social media, including posts by protester Talia Jane.
